WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Melt the chocolate in a small bowl set over a pan of boiling water. In another saucepan, heat the cream until almost boiling, then add to the melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Add the chopped and softened butter, and the brandy.
- Chill until firm enough to roll, then make into small truffle-size balls. Melt the white chocolate as you did the dark and leave to cool (but not set). Pierce each dark chocolate truffle with a cocktail stick and roll in the white chocolate.
- Chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle with the edible red food colouring dust.
Top Tip for making White chocolate truffles
If you're not keen on the red food colouring dust, it's not essential. You could always use finely grated dark chocolate instead.
