Chocolate Truffle Tutorial with pics
Gotta prep the chocolate and your dipping tools!
You're going to want a correct coating for your truffles. Candy coatings are available at supermarkets. REgular chocolate does not work unless it is 'tempered' so if this is your first candy-making experience, go with the coating type.
The tool you want to use is a small piece of wire, like a coat hanger, twisted so that one end is a loop about an inch long and curved so that it can retrieve finished cadies from the chocolate dip, and allow excess melted chocolate to run off. A spoon does not work. A fork is a pain in the ass. Make a loop!
Chop up the candy coating into small bits and place in the top of a double boiler. Keep a can of vegetable shortening handy. Do not allow even the smallest amount of water, including food colorings or flavorings, to contact the chocolate. It causes it to harden, even when still hot!
Melt your coating over hot but not boiling water, and when it is completely melted, add shortening until it is the consistency you like. Stir constantly while thinning, and do it gradually. If you thin it TOO much, a small pinch of powdered baking cocoa can help.
Take a ganache center and drop it into the hot chocolate. Swirl it quickly to coat and remove with your loop. Tap the excess coating off and then drop onto a sheet of parchment or waxed paper.
Here's a couple pics of candy coating steps. Again, this is a different flavor of truffle so yeah, it's white... lol!stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Chocolate Truffle Tutorial with pics Truffles are a nice way to take your medicine! Remember what Mary Poppins said? Just a spoon full of sugar, right? :D How about chocolate and budder too? Today we are making dark chocolate-espresso ganache and using that as centers for hand-dipped chocolate truffles. First you will need to make cannabutter and cannacream. These are simple! Start with 16 fluid ounces of HEAVY cream. It must be heavy cream, not half-n-half or light cream. Grind and de-seed enough brickweed to yield 16 Rating: 5
