- Yield:
- 1 servings
Ingredients
- 3 oz Chocolate
- 2 oz Powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 oz Butter
- 2 tb Fresh cream
Directions
- Preparation: Put cream, butter and grated chocolate into a pan.
- The chocolate need not be grated fine.
- The cream can be replaced by skimming the top off raw milk poured into a wide basin and allowed to settle.
- Melt butter, chocolate, and cream in a double boiler, stirring to mix well.
- When melted, remove the double boiler from the fire, leaving the hot water in the bottom pan to keep it warm.
- Sift the powdered sugar in slowly, so that it will not form lumps, stirring constantly.
- Let stand 24 hr.
- in a cool place.
- (In winter, 12 hr.
- in a cold room will do.)
- At the end of this time, cut a piece of this chocolate about the size of a small nut, using a knife or spoon.
- Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until the outside of the bonbon begins to melt a little.
- Then roll it in grated or granulated chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly.
- Let stand 2 hr.
- before serving, but in a place that is not too cold, because these truffles are better when they are a little soft.
- Instead of rolling them into balls, you can also shape them to look more like truffles.
