Hippy

Hi!  First, so sad that I don't get to go to truffle making parties at your house :(

Second, I sent you an email yesterday re: my blog giveaway.  Did you get it?

Re: Hippy

  • I didn't.  I'll go check that account right now!

     

    The truffle party was really just my knitting circle getting together.  And we didn't get as many truffles as I had hoped or I'd send you some.

     

    And you didn't miss much. The food was good but Ihurt my back half way through. :(  I have a chiro appt in 45 minutes because of it.  Thank GOd my dh works there so he snuck me in.

  • Bummer :(   I hope you catch a break soon and start to feel better. How does one even make a truffle?  That seems so... so.. fancy schmancy.

    Homemade Truffles

    Here's an easy but elegant dessert to serve on a cool Autumn evening... lovely homemade truffles, with a dash of liqueur, are always a festive treat. We thank Mary Ann Carbonell for this terrific recipe. Have some fun experimenting with different additions, too!

     

     
    Ingredients

     

    • 1/2 pound (about 250 grams) of good-quality semisweet chocolate
    • 1/4 cup all purpose cream (or whipping cream)
    • 1 teaspoon strong coffee
    • Cocoa for dusting
    Directions
    1. Melt the chocolate carefully in a double boiler, then set aside.
    2. Warm 1/4 cup whipping cream in a heavy saucepan. Add one teaspoon coffee to cream, stir, and remove from heat.
    3. Pour the mixture over the melted chocolate and stir well; mixture will thicken.
    4. Let it set in refrigerator for at least twenty minutes and then form into truffle-sized balls. Roll the truffles in the cocoa. Lay out on waxed paper and refrigerate again before serving, but serve at room temperature.
    5. Other variations can be rainbow or chocolate sprinkles to roll the truffles in, orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier) or kirsch truffles (just add 1 teaspoon liqueur to the cream), or ground chocolate to dust over the finished truffles.
    6. Store in the refrigerator, as these are made with fresh cream. Makes approximately 2 dozen truffles.

    Bring to parties or serve as after dinner treats. Great with Red wine!

    Enjoy!

  • Whoa!  That looks like something I could do.  I think I'm going to whip up some of these for our mom's group holiday party next week.  Thanks!
