Low Fat Chocolate Truffles

4 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
  • 6 tablespoons Tia Maria
  • 2 tablespoons clear honey (ie. acacia)
  • cocoa powder (to dust)

Directions

  1. 1
    Gently melt the chocolate (either in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water, or nuke it in the microwave in short bursts)and set aside.
  2. 2
    Gently pour in the liqueur and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will thicken really quickly.
  3. 3
    Add the honey a tablespoon at a time, slowly mixing with the chocolate until the mixture gets really nice and glossy.
  4. 4
    Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.
  5. 5
    Sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto a clean chopping board / large bowl / work surface.
  6. 6
    Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated.
  7. 7
    Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  8. 8
    Store in the fridge in a jar or Tupperware tub.
