I present to you a fool proof method of making the most impressive and delicious truffels using the Easychoc range from Silikomart. The silicone chocolate moulds are available in theme specific designs like easter and christmas, standard truffel shapes and some fun shapes like dinosaurs and smiley faces which can be purchased at our online store.
Check out this short yet informative video:
It is important to note the following:
The chocolate used is already tempered, which means that after it's melted and poured into the mould it will set again to its original texture, so make sure that the chocolate you use is specifically for moulding (Nestle's Easymelt or something similar) or already tempered. Also, do not leave the chocolate in the fridge for too long during the setting phase since the fats in the chocolate will start to seperate from the cocao and form a white residue on the chocolate.
With regards to the filling, you imagination is the only limiting factor. Standard ganache filling consists of 1 part chocolate and 1 part cream. Heat up the cream to just before boiling then add your chocolate bit by bit while stirring until all the chocolate is melted into the cream. For a firm ganache, use more chocolate and for a bit of excitement add some alcoholic liqueur of your choice.
These chocolates are great as an after dinner delight, a gift for that special someone or a treat for guests at your next party...enjoy!
