Ingredients
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 6 tablespoons Coconut Cream
- 1 tsp Orange Blossom Water (or Orange Extract)
- 1tbs Triple Sec
- For the Topping
- With a sharp knife peel an orange getting as little of the white pith as possible. Cut about half of the peel into thin strips.
- Add the peel with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup to a small pan and heat. Stir as the mixture bubbles until the peel is covered in a lovely sugary coating. Spread out on greaseproof paper to cool for later.
- For the Coating
- 100g Dark Chocolate
Directions
- Step 1
- Grab a pot, and fill about 1/4 full with water. Pop on a medium heat and put a metal bowl on top. Into the bowl add the chocolate (broken into small pieces), the cream, the Orange Blossom water. Melt slowly stirring once in a while. When the chocolate is melted add in the Triple Sec. Set aside to cool. You can pop it in the refrigerator for a bit if you like.
- Step 2
- Once the mixture has solidified a bit you can make your truffles. Take a teaspoon size chunk of the mixture and roll into a ball quickly with your hands. You will end up with very chocolatey hands but that’s life for you!.
- Step 3
- Put the rolled truffles to one side on a plate and keep going until you have used all the mixture.
- Step 4
- Now put the pot back on the stove, make sure you’ve still got a decent amount of water in the pot, and pop the bowl on top again. Melt the 100g of Dark Chocolate in the bowl and let it cool a bit before dipping your truffles.
- Step 5
- Once melted it’s time to dip. Put a truffle on your fork and lower it into the chocolate and use a spoon to pour chocolate over the truffle. Tap the fork to get rid of extra chocolate. This helps keep the shape. Have a tray lined with greaseproof paper ready and using a toothpick push the truffle off the fork (only push at the bottom on the truffle so you don’t disturb the chocolate).
- Step 6
- Once the truffle is on the paper decorate with some peel before the chocolate hardens.
- Step 7
- Repeat until finished. Eat within 3 or 4 days.
