White chocolate truffles - wheat free recipe
This recipe is ideal to make for an indulgent chocolate treat, or as a special handmade present for someone very special.
A small basket of these white chocolate truffles, tied up with a pretty ribbon, will certainly get a lot of appreciation. With the current fashion of taking something homemade to your hostess when you have a social occasion it certainly shows your appreciation, (as long as they're not on a strict chocolate free diet!).
Why not make a batch of our chocolate rum truffles as well for a really impressive chocolate truffle selection.

chocolate truffle mix
| 175 | g | white chocolate, broken into small pieces |
| 65 | g | unsalted butter |
| 45 | ml | double cream |
| 1 | tsp | liqueur of choice (check wheat & gluten free) |
chocolate truffle coating
| icing sugar |
| 1. | Line a tin with non-stick baking paper. |
| 2. | 
Put the white chocolate, butter and double cream in a bain marie or bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure
that the base of the bowl does not touch the water (see photo, sorry only had a dark chocolate version). White chocolate
will separate if it is melted over too high a heat. Stir until the ingredients are melted and the mix is smooth. |
| 3. | Remove from the heat, add the liqueur and mix well. |
| 4. | Spread the chocolate mixture onto the lined tin, then refrigerate for several hours until set firm. |
| 5. | Remove from the fridge and pull off small pieces and roll into balls. Once the truffle mix becomes too soft to work with place it back in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill and set again. |
| 6. | Once the truffles are formed then they are ready to have the coating applied. Put the icing sugar onto a plate and then gently roll each truffle in it, alternatively lightly dust the chocolate truffles with sieved icing sugar. |
These white chocolate truffles are very rich, but well worth the effort to make. They should be kept in the fridge until ready to eat.
