Chocolate truffles

Let’s set the record straight. This recipe is not healthy, not paleo, not raw, but what it is, is fast and easy to make and just plain ole lip smacking delectable.

The are best served warmed, so remove from the fridge about and a half to an hour before serving.

I have adapted the recipe for use in a thermal mixer (Thermomix /Mycook) as well as conventional methods.

The recipe is from the New Zealand Edmonds cookbook, slightly adapted to my cooking style. Want to come and join me on Facebook in our group for the Edmonds book fan club? All 2,381 of us who love our Edmonds cookbook. It’s a kiwi thing. Click on the link here.

I used dark palm oil free chocolate, but this is just my personal preference. I buy palm oil-free products because I am against the use of it. Use whatever is your favourite chocolate, either milk or dark chocolate.

You can swap the rum for your favourite spirit. Or even a fruit syrup goes well. Play around with different flavours. There is always time for truffles in one’s life.

I put some of the mixture in chocolate moulds. But you must press the mixture in very well to fill any gaps. The silicone moulds do not need to be oiled or anything like that.

You can roll the mixture into balls and then in coconut or your favourite coating, and again you can play around with different textures.
