Homemade Chocolate Orange Truffles

Ingredients

• 200ml double cream
• 340g dark chocolate finely grated
• Zest from one orange
• One cinnamon stick
• 1/2 tsp orange flavouring
• Mix of cocoa and cinnamon to taste - for coating

Method

Heat the cream, orange zest and cinnamon stick until the cream begins to boil

Sieve the hot cream over the grated chocolate and whisk the mixture steadily until the mixture is entirely smooth. If the chocolate is not grated finely enough, you may need a double boiler to achieve this.

Add the orange flavouring to the chocolate mix. Place a layer of cling film directly on top of the mix so it is not exposed to air.



Leave to harden at room temperature overnight. Do not refrigerate. The result is ganache.



Using a spoon, shape into balls [might have to get messy with your hands here] and allow to harden in the fridge for an hour.  Coat in the cocoa/cinnamon powder mix and enjoy!
