Dark Chocolate Orange Truffles
Be the first to write a review!

Dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces

200g

Whipping cream

3 tbsp

Orange liqueur (other other liqueur of your choice)

2 tbsp

Finely grated zest of a large orange (optional)

Cocoa powder, to dust

Step 1 of 2

Put the chocolate, condensed milk and cream in a large bowl. Place in the microwave and heat on high for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chocolate has melted. The mixture will thicken quite a lot – this is normal. Mix in the orange liqueur and zest. Cover and chill for 4 hours, or overnight, so the chocolate sets really well.

Step 2 of 2

Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment and coat it liberally with cocoa powder. Using a teaspoon, scoop the mixture into truffles, then drop onto the cocoa powder and coat well. Lift out, place on a baking sheet and chill well in the refrigerator.

We love these straight from the fridge…

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great taste but too runny and don't set properly After leaving in the fridge overnight the mixture was still very runny and i did nearly make them into truffle shapes by immediately rolling in cocoa powder. I then froze but they were still far too soft and started melting as soon as out the freezer. However I made them a second time and added some additional chocolate and a small amount of butter in and hooray they worked!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Tasty Made these recently and are delicious. Did need to leave mixture in fridge overnight and I would spread it about a bit more as centre was still very soft to form into balls but definitely making again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Impossible to hold shape I love making truffles and was excited to try a new recipe. The mixture set beautifully in the fridge but when I tried rolling them into balls, they spread into flat discs. Tried re rolling them then freezing but still left with pancakes. Such a shame as the flavour was delicious.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An amazingly simple but incredibly sophisticated . Oh my goodness Carnation has really pulled it out of the bag with this sweet treat. I don't have a microwave so I used a bain marie and it worked out perfectly and instead of orange liqueur I used freeze dried strawberry pieces and the taste is devine! The basic recipe is a good base for experimenting with and I can't wait to try making these again with different things included.
