Hand Made Chocolate Truffles

This is a simple recipe for delicate yummy chocolate truffles. Serve in small dishes and keep refrigerated.

Hand Made Chocolate Truffles
~225 Grams of cooking chocolate chopped (the perfect percentage of cacao is between 65% and 75%)
~85 Grams of unsalted butter cut in small pieces
~55ml of cream
~25ml of cognac or brandy
~unsweetened (sieved) coca powder for dusting

In a plastic bowl place the butter, chocolate and cream. Microwave on high until the chocolate is 80% melted stopping every 30 seconds to stir the mixture. Then allow the remaining heat to melt the chocolate. Stir in the cognac or brandy. Then transfer into a shallow bowl and allow to set for a few hours in a fridge.
When the mixture is firm scoop into small spoonfuls into the palm of your hand and roll into rough balls. This can be a little difficult so try and keep your hands cold and clean.
When rolled in rough balls dust with cocoa powder then refrigerate then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
