Werkwijze

  • Preparation: Make sure all ingredients and materials are ready.

Stuffing

  • Use a stand mixer to pat the 200 Gr butter loosen. Add the 40 Gr fondant sugar in small amounts and mix well.
  • Mix the 200 Gr Hazelnut praline butter mixture by hand.
  • Add 320 Gr tempered milk chocolate and mix until homogeneous.
  • Place the mixture in a piping bag and pipe small portions onto a baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator to harden.

Tempered Milk Chocolate

  • Heat all milk chocolate to 40-45°C. Pour 2/3 onto a marble tablet and move it around until it cools to about 25°C. Mix this back with the remaining 1/3 hot milk chocolate. The result should be about 30°C and is tempered chocolate.

Milk Chocolate Chips

  • Use a ladle to pour an amount of tempered chocolate onto a marble tablet. Spread it thinly with a putty knife.
  • Scrape off the chocolate right away using a putty knife to make chips.

Compose

  • Caps: Take the chilled filling and dip it in the tempered milk chocolate. Do this with max 5 at a time.
  • Rolling: Roll the dipped filling into the milk chocolate chips.
  • Cooling: Place the finished truffles back into the refrigerator to harden completely.
  • Repeat this process but check the temperature of the chocolate regularly. Heat extra if needed. Also, don’t forget to stir the chocolate regularly.
  • Let it cool down a bit.
  • Your truffles are ready to be eaten!

Notities

Preserve

You can safely store the truffles in a cool place for a few weeks. It is not recommended to store it in the fridge unless you can control the humidity in your fridge to a minimum. However, you can store truffles (unlike chocolates) in the freezer.

Replaceable ingredients

The great thing about truffles is that you’re not stuck with one recipe or a particular flavor combination. Milk chocolate and hazelnut praline are great together, but what if you’re more of a fan of white chocolate or almond praline? No problem! Simply replace the milk chocolate and hazelnut praline with your favourite chocolate and praline filling.
