Pomegranate Chocolate Truffles


Truffles are the ultimate in easy-to-make candy--just melt chocolate and cream with flavoring and roll in cocoa powder.



Ingredients:

  • 11 oz semi-sweet dark chocolate
  • 5.5 oz heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate paste or syrup
  • cocoa powder for rolling truffles

Method

In double boiler melt chocolate until smooth. While melting chocolate slowly heat heavy cream to 180 degrees. When chocolate and cream are ready, slowly add cream to chocolate, stirring constantly to fully incorporate. Once chocolate and cream are smooth add pomegranate paste. Taste as you may wish to add more pomegranate syrup. Line two large baking sheets with plastic wrap so there is at least two inches extra around edges. Pour out chocolate mix and let cool for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. Once fully cooled roll truffle misture into 1/2 oz balls and roll in cocoa powder. Coat your hands with cocoa also to avoid sticking. Arrange balls on a plate.

Notes: They do not need to be refridgerated and will last a couple of weeks. If you do refrigerate, bring to room temperature before serving.

Number of servings: 35
