Ingredients
Method
- Roughly chop the bittersweet chocolate and place into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a small pot or in the microwave, heat the salted caramel sauce and cream together until hot.
- Pour the hot caramel sauce over the chocolate, and let stand for 10 minutes. Once the chocolate has melted give the truffle mix a stir to emulsify but just briefly. Over mixing can cause the mix to separate and become oily.
- When the mixture is smooth, transfer to the refrigerator and allow to chill until set, about 4 hours or overnight.
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Using a spoon, scoop out the truffle in rounded teaspoonfuls and roll until smooth in your hands.
- Melt the coating chocolate over in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Roll the chilled truffle in the melted chocolate until coated.
- Straight away toss the truffle into cocoa powder and allow the cocoa to stick to the wet chocolate. Continue with the remaining truffles.
- Allow the truffles to set in the fridge. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to gift.
- Just before eating allow them to sit at room temperature for the best flavor.
Notes
The chocolate can be melted carefully in a microwave, a few seconds at a time until it is almost melted, then allow it to stand and mix it.
