Delicious Champagne Truffles For Every Occasion


by Tracie Knight


Let us face it, it is never easy to give the perfect gift. Whenever we have to give a gift we are always confronted with the dilemma of what to give to a person. To be on the safe side, most of must give flowers. Some go for a box of chocolates and other sweets. If you want to try giving something other than the usual, then give champagne truffles a try.

Truffles are desserts made of cocoa with a ganache cream center. In this case, champagne is added to the usual whipped cream or in the mixture altogether. There are many variations to this delicious dessert. There are pink, milk and dark chocolate, and classic kinds available today.

Truffles are easy to make. You do not have to be a pastry chef to come up with one. You can try making these babies in different variations like milk, dark, pink, and classic. You can also coat it with chopped nuts, if you desire.

To be able to make your own truffles, you first need to have three fourths cup of your favorite champagne, one fourth cup each of butter, honey and liqueur. Prepare also three and one fourth cups of semi sweet cocoa chips. For the coating, all that is need is two cups each of semi sweet chips and powdered sugar.

Once you have all the ingredients, the first thing you need to do is to melt the honey, liqueur, wine and butter in a sauce pan until they all come together smoothly. Add the chocolate and stir until very smooth. One you reach the desired consistency, you can now transfer the mixture into a big bowl.

Put the bowl inside the refrigerator for at least an hour. Get a cookie sheet and line it with waxed paper. Dole out teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto the cookie sheet and and freeze them for about a quarter of an hour. Roll into balls and freeze again until firm.

Now, for the coating, sift two two cups of sugar and keep the half in the sifter. The other half should be poured evenly on another cookie sheet. Set aside. In a double boiler, melt the cocoa and stir until smooth. Drop the balls in the melted chocolate, making sure that each ball is completely coated. Get them out of the boiler using a fork and put into the sifter. Roll each ball until everything is covered with sugar, then put them on the sugar dusted cookie sheet.

If you prefer to have dark truffles, melt dark cocoa for the coating. Use white if you prefer the milk variation. If you want to have the pink types, cover the balls with berry powder instead of powdered sugar.

If you think you have not done well on your first try, do not worry. A lot of people mess up their first batch anyway. You can also buy these from chocolatiers everywhere so that you do not have to worry about the packaging.
