New Recipe - Chipolte Chocolate Truffles

[Guest guest]

I have not had a chance to try these yet, but the recipe caught my eye and I

had a secretary at the hospital make me a copy of it.

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

 

¾ Cup of Cream

 

8 Ounces of Semisweet or Bittersweet chocolate chopped

 

½ tsp of chipotle chili powder

 

4 Ounces of Semisweet or Bittersweet chocolate chopped

 

¼ Cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

 

 

 

Directions

 

 

 

Chop 8 ounces of chocolate and set it aside. Bring the cream to a boil in a

small saucepan. Remove from heat and whisk in the 8 ounces of chocolate and

the chipotle powder. Pour into a small bowl and let it cool for a couple of

hours or until firm.

 

 

 

Scoop out tiny balls of chocolate (a #70 scoop is perfect), and put them on

a plate. Refrigerate until the balls are well-chilled (two hours at least).

 

 

 

Melt 4 ounces of chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Put unsweetened

cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Take the balls of chocolate out of the

refrigerator.

 

 

 

Smear a bit of melted chocolate in the palm of one hand. Take one of the

balls and roll it around in your hand. Roll the ball in the cocoa powder

and place on a clean plate. Continue the process quickly so the balls don’t

melt.

 

 

 

When all the balls are rolled in melted chocolate and dusted with cocoa

powder, refrigerate them so they will harden back up.

 

 

 

Make sure you take the balls out of the refrigerator an hour before serving.

They will keep in the refrigerator for up to ten days.

Now THAT is my kind of truffle!!!

 

When I was in Mexico, I had the opportunity to patronize Ah Cacao,

which served a drink called Chocolate Maya. It was hot Mexican

chocolate with cinnamon and chiles in it. It was one of the highlights

of my trip!

Go to www.cowgirlchocolates.com and see the chocolates she offers. The

raspberry truffles are my favorite. The habenero caramels are also great. For

those who don't care for spicey, she also has mild chocolates. They are made

here in Moscow ID but she ships all over.
