Golden eggnog truffles desserts recipes
Method
Step 1
Place dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Place cream in a saucepan over medium heat and bring just to a simmer. Gradually stir into chocolate until melted and smooth. Add spices and brandy. Stir. Cool and place in the fridge for 2 hours or until firm.
Step 2
Line 2 trays with baking paper. Use cool, slightly damp hands to roll 1 teaspoonful of chocolate mixture into a ball. Place on 1 lined tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until firm.
Step 3
Melt the white chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (do not let bowl touch the water). Skewer 1 truffle with a toothpick and dip quickly into the melted chocolate. Place on second lined tray. Repeat with the remaining truffles and melted chocolate. Set aside to set. Place in the fridge until required.
Step 4
Just before giftwrapping, decorate the truffles with a little edible gold leaf.
