CHOCOLATE AND NUTS TRUFFLE BY CHEF RAGHU


Ingredients:

  • 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate
  • 100 grams butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
  • 100 gms dry fruits and nuts
  • A baking tray lined with non-stick parchment paper

Preparation:

  1. Finely chop the chocolate and place in a clean, dry heatproof bowl and set aside.
  2. Fill a saucepan 1/4 full of hot water and bring it to a simmer. Fit the bowl snugly into the rim of the saucepan so that the bowl is suspended over the gently simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water otherwise it will overheat and seize up.
  3. Allow the chocolate to gently melt. Once melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan and stir it with a clean, dry spoon until smooth.
  4. Stir through the room temperature butter until completely combined. Next add the egg yolk, chopped nuts, fruits and honey and stir until combined.
  5. Pour the mixture in round mould.
  6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 1/2 hours or until set.
