What’s better than a chocolate truffle? A spiced chocolate truffle!
If you’re a fan of a little heat and, of course, chocolate (who isn’t?!) then these truffles are for you. There are three varieties to choose from:Â cinnamon and chipotle, orange and cardamom and ginger. Or, why not try creating you very own flavour?
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped bittersweet and semisweet chocolate. Evenly distribute the chopped chocolate mixture among 3 small bowls.
In one bowl, add cinnamon and chipotle powder. In the second bowl, add the orange zest and cardamom. In the third bowl, add fresh ginger and ground ginger.
In medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and confectioners’ sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Evenly divide the hot cream mixture between the 3 bowls of chocolate and spices, whisking gently until chocolate is completely melted. Cover each bowl tightly with plastic wrap; set aside to cool, and then freeze until thoroughly chilled.
Line 3 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Using a 1-inch spring-loaded scoop, scoop chocolate mixture into hands, and roll into a ball. Transfer to prepared baking sheets, keeping each flavor separate.
Add the cocoa powder to a bowl. Gently, roll each of the balls into the cocoa powder to finish.
Devour!
