Peppermint Present Truffles

Course: snacks
Cuisine: american
Keyword: chocolate

Ingredients

  • white chocolate melted
  • red oil-based food colouring
  • 85 ml whipping cream hot
  • 115 g white chocolate finely chopped
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 5 candy canes crushed

Instructions

  • Divide the melted white chocolate into 2 containers and dye one batch red. Spoon the chocolate into a square silicone mold to create the chocolate shells, making half of the squares white and half red. Place the mold into the freezer for the chocolate to harden.
  • Pour the hot cream on top of the white chocolate and mix well. Place the bowl on top of a bowl filled with ice water and mix until the ganache thickens. Add the peppermint extract and candy canes and combine. Place the ganache in a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe the ganache into the chocolates and pour more melted chocolate on top. Return the chocolates to the freezer for the chocolate to fully harden, about 30 minutes.
  • Unmold the chocolates and using a toothpick, draw ribbons and bows onto the chocolates. Draw red bows onto the white boxes and white bows onto the red boxes. Return to the freezer for a final 10 minutes to set and enjoy!
