- Once boiled, carefully whisk in the chocolate
- This will create a Ganache - a rich, shiny emulsified mixture which you can then pour back in to the bowl
- Clingfilm and place into the fridge. Leave overnight to set.
- When set, using a teaspoon or a melon baller, spoon little truffles out and roll into cocoa powder. Alternatively you can pipe these into little chocolate logs and then roll in cocoa powder.
