I like watching cooking videos on Youtube, and I once went on a Gordon Ramsay spree. In a two-part video, he made mint chocolate truffles with his children. Those are what I tried to make for my friends and to give to the staff of a tea house where my friend works.
The video doesn't give the proportions of ingredients, so I got them off Good to Know. I did change a few proportions myself, but more on that in the recipe below. For a few ingredients (butter, sweeteners), I simply eyeballed the amount. I also used as much chocolate as I had, and scaled down the rest of the ingredients based on that.
RECIPE
Ingredients
- 500 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 500 mL heavy cream
- 1 small bunch fresh mint
- 100 g butter, softened
- honey/brown sugar, to taste
- unsweetened cocoa powder
Procedure
- Lightly bruise the bunch of mint to release its fragrance. Put it in a pot with the cream.
- Heat over medium-low heat until bubbling.
- In a heat-proof bowl, put chocolate and butter.
- When the cream bubbles, mix in sweetener.
- Strain hot cream into the chocolate. Mix until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Pour in a wide, dish. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- When cold, take teaspoonfuls out, roll into balls, and drop in a plate of cocoa powder. Roll around to coat.
- Eat within 3-4 days.
