The Pure Indulge Truffle
Ingredients:
Makes about 40 pieces
8 oz heavy whipping cream
16 oz dark chocolate (Use a 70% cocoa from Callebaut)
8 oz cocoa butter
Cocoa powder
Method
Cut the chocolate in small pieces to allow them to melt easier and place in a bowl. Bring the heavy whipping cream to a boil and cool until 158 ̊F. Add the heavy cream to the chocolate and mix until a smooth ganache is reached. Pour the ganache on silicone paper and spread out to a flat plate of 2/3 inch high. Allow the ganache to harden.
Temper some chocolate in the microwave and spread a thin layer on the ganache using a pastry spatula. When the chocolate is hard, flip over the entire plate and cut the ganache in 1 by 1 inch cubes.Melt the cocoa butter in the microwave the same way you would temper chocolate in the microwave. Enrobe the cubes in the cocoa butter using a dipping fork and cover them with cocoa powder.
