Homemade Champagne Truffles An Indulgent Choice

By Elizabeth Baker


Truffles are regarded as an indulgent treat and its assumed that you cannot make them at home because the recipe is pretty difficult to follow. Well, actually its a very simple recipe and once you know how to handle your chocolate you will become an expert truffle maker. Its pretty simple to make homemade champagne truffles all you have to do is to follow the recipe accurately.

All you have to do is to take plain chocolate, it could be white, milk or dark which ever variety you prefer the most. Usually, plain milk chocolate is preferred as it compliments the taste of champagne. If you use dark chocolate it may taste a bit too bitter after you add champagne to your mixture.

Take the chocolate bar and just break it into little pieces and after that use a grinder to further chop it up. The reason you need to crush the chocolate is on the grounds that on the off chance that you attempt to work with little bits of chocolate, it would leave a touch of knot and you won't care for a bump in your truffle.

Presently take another pan and include full fat cream, butter spread and a bit of champagne and simply stew it for some time. Try not to convey it to heat it up too much. You could utilize low fat cream instead of full fat yet it won't taste as smooth and creamy as you desire. Once the blend is warmed up pour it onto the chocolate and turn on the sustenance processor.

Blend everything together until a smooth paste is formed. To give it a tangy flavor, add a bit of yogurt and blend it again. At this stage the whole mixture would be very runny so you need to put it in a bowl and refrigerate it for the night. It will thicken up overnight and then you can simply make out truffles from it. This is the basic truffle mixture which you can use to make plain as well as other varieties of truffle.

You should keep in mind that only good quality ingredients should be used because the taste of cheap champagne or low quality chocolate would just ruin the whole truffle recipe and you will not be able to achieve the results you were aiming for. Again, its possible to buy good quality products at a cheaper prices provided you do your research in this regards and find affordable options for yourself.

While making this liberal treat, you must be somewhat watchful in taking care of the blend since it will begin to liquefy down when you begin working with it. You'd need to work them rapidly with the goal that they don't liquefy and hold their shape. Placed them in a refrigerator subsequently in light of the fact that if the outside temperature is excessively hot, they will start, making it impossible to free their shape.

Its up to you to add different sort of flavors to the truffle mixture if you want to add a personal touch. You could put in some nuts, dried chopped ginger as well as dried fruits. The flavors you add should taste great with chocolate otherwise you will end up with something that tastes too bitter or not so nice. You can also freeze them to consume them later or just gobble them down if you desire.
