MELTY TRUFFLES
Serves ??, well depends at what rate you eat.. ;)
Ingredients:

• Sugar- 1 cup
• Powdered chocolate- 3/4 cup
• Fresh cream- 1/2 cup
• Unsalted butter- 1/4 cup
• Vanilla essence (optional, i like it without it!!)
• Instant coffee powder (if you want to give it a mochalicious flavour)

Method:

• Mix sugar and powdered chocolate and heat over a double boiler.
• Beat fresh cream till soft peaks are formed and add this cream to the sugar and chocolate mixture.
• Bring it to a boil. (it boils almost instantly, so be careful.. i had spilled it the first time i made!!!)
• Take off the heat and mix the unsalted butter.
• Allow the mixture to cool slighly and cool in the refrigerator for about an hour till it becomes a little stiff.
• Take out from the refrigerator and form balls using buttered palms.
• Roll these balls in powdered chocolate and chill.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature, as desired.

Note: Dark rum or any other liquer can also be added before keeping in the refrigerator.

        Instead of coating the balls with powdered chocolate or chocolate chips, it can also be dipped in Ganache and kept on butter paper and then chilled.
