- Enrobing: Heat and cold or possibly temper the chocolate. Sift the cocoa into a deep pan. Coat truffles, using your hand to cover truffles with tempered chocolate. Deposit the truffles in the cocoa as they are enrobed and shake the pan to cover them. Remove the truffles to another pan as they are coated. After the covering sets, shake the truffles in a strainer to remove the excess cocoa.
- This recipe yields 35 to 50 truffles depending on size.
- Comments: These are classics; the flavoring may be added by changing the liqueur. Also, try adding some minced, toasted nuts to the whipped center mix and rolling the finished truffles in minced, toasted nuts instead of cocoa.
- This recipe is an example of Truffle Ganache.
