Muscovado Chocolate Truffle
Description
The recipe begins by bringing muscovado sugar, sea salt, and double cream to a simmer and pouring it over fine dark chocolate, then whisking until smooth and emulsified to create a ganache. After chilling, the ganache is shaped into truffles by hand and rolled in a mixture of cocoa powder and muscovado sugar, lending a lightly sweet, rustic coating. The use of muscovado sugar both in the ganache and coating imparts a subtle molasses flavor, distinguishing these truffles from standard chocolate varieties.
Best enjoyed at room temperature, serving suggestions include placing a truffle in hot milk to create a rich, chocolatey drink after a short steep. The truffles can be stored refrigerated or frozen, making them convenient for keeping on hand for dessert or gifts.
Ingredients
- 100 grams muscovado sugar
- pinch salt sea salt
- 250 grams cream double
- 250 grams chocolate 70% dark finest chocolate, broken into pieces
FOR ROLLING
- 50 grams cocoa powder
- 50 grams muscovado sugar
Instructions
- Bring the sugar, salt and cream to a simmer. Pour on to the chocolate in a bowl and whisk well until emulsified and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool, then refrigerate.
- When you are ready to roll your truffles, mix the cocoa powder and sugar together well until fully combined.
- Now, take a generous amount of the ganache and, having dipped your hands into the dry mixture, form your desired sphere – or feel free to leave the truffles rustic.
- Once shaped, re-roll the truffles through the dry powder to coat them. Store in an airtight container in the fridge – or even the freezer if you want a constant supply of emergency truffles.
- But be sure to enjoy them at room temperature.
How to Fully Enjoy the Muscovado Chocolate Truffles:
- Bring a mugful of milk to a simmer, place one muscovado truffle in the bottom of your cup, then pour on the hot milk and allow to stand for 2 minutes.
- You can either drink the warm milk and enjoy the molten chocolate at the bottom, or give everything a good stir for a soothing hot chocolate milk.
- Skewer the truffles on to cocktail sticks and refrigerate. Melt a small bowl of your favorite chocolate over a pan of hot water until smooth.
- Place your truffles around the dish of melted chocolate, then dip and indulge.
