Ingredients

Dark Chocolate & Cherry Truffles

½ cup whipping cream
8 oz dark chocolate (less than 70%), chopped
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1 tsp butter, at room temperature
¼ cup finely chopped dried cherries
1 cup cocoa nibs (see Cook's Note)

Milk Chocolate Orange Truffles

⅓ cup whipping cream
8 oz couverture milk chocolate, chopped
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1 Tbsp butter, at room temperature
Zest of 1 orange
1 cup crushed feuilletine wafer cookies, or cornflake cereal crumbs

White Chocolate Blueberry Truffles

¼ cup whipping cream
8 oz white chocolate, chopped
1 Tbsp white corn syrup
1 ½ Tbsp virgin coconut oil
3 Tbsp dried blueberries
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

Dark Chocolate & Cherry Truffles

1. Bring the cream up to a full simmer while you have the chopped chocolate and corn syrup ready in a bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, let it sit a minute, and then gently stir with a spatula, starting the motion in the centre and widening the stirring circle outward as the chocolate melts. If the chocolate does not melt fully, then place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring very gently until smooth. Stir in the butter and then the dried cherries. Set this aside to cool completely to room temperature - this can take up to 90 minutes.

2. Use a very small scoop or two teaspoons to scoop spoonfuls of truffle onto a plate. Roll the truffles between your palms to shape into balls and then roll them in the cocoa nibs.

3. The truffles should be stored refrigerated, but always bring them to room temperature for serving.
