Chocolate Strawberry Truffles

Ingredients

125g dark chocolate (50%)

1/3 cup cream

50g Westgold Herb & Black Pepper Infused Butter

¼ cup freeze dried strawberries

Coating:

2 tbsp cocoa

2 tbsp icing sugar

Method

On a low heat, warm the cream and butter together until the butter is melted.  Take off the heat and add the chopped chocolate.  Allow to sit for 5 mins to let the chocolate melt through. 

Whisk until smooth.  Crush the strawberries in your finger as you add them to the chocolate mixture and stir.  Cover and refrigerate for several hours until firm enough to shape. Mix the cocoa and icing sugar together. 

Dip a teaspoon into boiling water and scoop out a small spoon of truffle mixture and shape into a mound or ball and then roll or gently shake them around in the coating mixture.  Leave the truffles in the coating mixture, cover and place in the fridge. 

When ready to serve the truffles, tap them gently to remove excess coating and serve.
