Recipees - Chocolade!

[Randi]

Here's a recipe you can try for Christmas! I got it from a friend in England. It's quite easy!

Warning! Don't even look at it, if you want to slim! ;)

Chocolade Truffles

100 g Valhrona chocolade (or other good chocolade)
50 g unsalted butter
2 egg yolks
6+ tablespoons icing sugar
flavouring (e.g. Grand Marnier, Tia Maria, Rum)
coatings (e.g. icing sugar, choc strands, cocoa powder)

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cream together the butter, icing sugar, egg yolks and flavouring (if used). Add the melted chocolate and beat until mixed and a fairly firm consistency, adding more icing sugar if necessary. Put in a dish and leave to cool and set - I put mine in a shallow dish in the fridge for an hour. Once set, form into balls and roll them in the coatings. This is the messy and time-consuming part of the process.

Enjoy! :D

That looks like a tasty treat when it is Christmas probably I will tell my mom to make some.

Thought it would be a good idea to post a conversion table here on page one, for when you cook. :)

In "Capacity and Volume" you'll find lots of different meassurements for various countries. As you'll see, there are also other convertions.
