Ingredients

• 150g dark chocolate (60% cacao)
• 200ml heavy cream
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• Zest of 1 orange
• 3 tbsp dark rum
• 200g milk chocolate, finely chopped
• Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

1. Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute before gently stirring until smooth.
3. Add the butter, orange zest, and dark rum to the chocolate mixture, whisking until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Once the ganache has firmed up, use a melangeur or food processor to process the milk chocolate into fine crumbs.
5. Scoop out the chocolate ganache using a small ice cream scoop, roll into balls, and then coat each one in the processed milk chocolate. Place on a parchment lined tray and freeze until firm.
6. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Chef’s Insight

To add an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle the truffles with melted chocolate or dust them with edible gold leaf.
