Strawberry Truffles Recipe
Molded chocolates filled with a white chocolate strawberry ganache.
Ingredients
| 250 g | strawberries, washed, hulled and halved |
| 200 g | white chocolate (for a thicker ganache use more chocolate) |
| — | white and dark tempered chocolate for molds |
| — | red oil based food colouring, optional |
Instructions
(Makes 300ml of filling, each truffle will use approx 5ml depending on the size of your mold.)
Place strawberries in a saucepan and place over a medium heat with a lid on to stew. Stir often to make sure they do not burn on the bottom. Once the fruit is very soft remove from the heat and stir in the white chocolate.
If you want it totally smooth strain through a fine metal sieve. Place in the fridge overnight to cool completely.
Take two small bowls and put a spoon of white chocolate in each, mix in some red oil based food colour into each. Using your finger place smudges of each of the colours on the inside of the mold. Fill the molds with dark chocolate, scrape clean, leave for a moment and then tip out the excess.
Pipe in some strawberry ganache into each mold. Cover with chocolate and scrape off the excess and leave to set then turn out of the mold.
