A few tips to help you make the perfect truffles:

6:676

The first is the use of a pastry bag (it is usually used to fill cakes with cream and to decorate confectionery). Just fill it with a little thickened, but not yet solid stuffing and start forming small cones. The second option is to form balls with your own hands. In this case, you need to let the filling cool down a bit and thicken. And in order not to get dirty, put on disposable plastic gloves. You can also use a spoon.
The chocolate filling will be fragrant and tasty if you add components such as cognac or rum, some kind of liquor, cinnamon, vanilla and so on to it.
The main ingredient of the dessert is chocolate, and it is best to choose bitter, then the sweets will not be so sugary and will acquire an exquisite tart taste. But if you like sweets, then use milk chocolate or its mixture with dark.
For dessert decoration, you can use not only cocoa powder, but also cocoa granules, coffee (it will take quite a bit), waffle or cookie crumbs, ground nuts, coconut flakes or even powdered sugar. And to make the sweets look even brighter, cover them with a glaze not from dark chocolate, but from white.
If you want the filling to remain soft, then do not let it harden completely. To do this, put the sweets in the refrigerator for only twenty minutes, so that only the outer shell has time to harden.

Enjoy your meal!

Cooking step by step:

This recipe for a delicious and fairly quick dessert at home includes the following ingredients: high-quality chocolate (best with a cocoa content of 70-80%), heavy cream (30-33%), a little sugar (you can not add), unsweetened cocoa powder. If you wish, you can literally add a teaspoon of aromatic alcohol or flavoring to taste - I have Cognac, but Rum or Brandy is perfect.

Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring it almost to a boil. We turn off the fire. We put chocolate in hot cream, which we first break into slices or chop with a knife.

We add a couple of tablespoons of sugar, but you can skip this step - this is not important. It's just that my kids don't like dark chocolate, so I add some sugar for them. Now stir everything until the chocolate and sugar are completely dissolved.

During this time, the chocolate mass will thicken well and it will be possible to make sweets from it. Only now we beat it a little (several seconds) with a mixer to get a lush chocolate cream. Truffles can be molded with two spoons or with hands slightly dipped in cold water. Round sweets or with an elongated spout are a matter of taste. We roll the truffles in cocoa powder, let them cool a little and you can treat your loved ones.
