Tips In The Creation Of Chocolate Truffles

By Tiffany Gill


There are a lot of people who are interested in making chocolate truffles NYC. It should be a given for those who are interested in creating this sweets to use a double boiler or a bain marie. Get a medium baking pan with one liter of water in it and put it into the heat. Bring it to a slow simmer so that it can be used for cooking.

The next thing to prepare is the choco bar. This bar should be placed on a chopping board. After all, one will have to cut this up into little pieces to make it easier to melt. Of course, there are times when the lines of the bar are sufficient enough to cut the said ingredient into the right size. It will make the work a lot easier.

After that, one should get a small-sized pan and add in two tablespoons of water into it. This water will help in melting the coco. To some people, they do not recommend using water in melting this ingredient though. They prefer to let the choco melt according to its melting point without the help of water.

To proceed with the melting process of the choco, put this small pan on top of the medium pan with the liter of water. When doing this, do not let the bottom side of the small pan touch with the simmering water in the medium pan. The choco should also be stirred constantly so that it melts evenly. It takes around eight minutes for one to be successful with this.

After that, one will need to add the cream. Do the mixing as gently as possible so that the ganache will mix well. As long as the ganache is not yet mixed completely, the pastry chef should not remove the pan from the heat. Stir it continuously until it mixes well. Only then should one take it out of the heat to let it cool down.

Adding the butter will come next. If the pastry chef plans to add the butter, then the water in the medium pan should be brought to a simmer once again. Place the pan with ganache on top of the medium pan again. Just add in the butter and continue to stir it well. Once done, take it out.

Once the ganache is prepared, one will then have to pour this in a large bowl. If there are some remaining mixture in the pan, just remove it with a spatula. Do not hesitate to line up the surface with a quality plastic wrap. Otherwise, a film will develop on the mixture's surface of the pan. Put the bowl into the fridge for an hour.

After an hour, the person can proceed into making the truffle. Just get the bowl out of the fridge and put it on top of one's work surface. The cocoa should be prepared as well. Just put a certain amount of cocoa in a medium bowl.

Get a melon baller. Another alternative for this is a teaspoon or an ice cream scooper. Get small amounts of the ganache with this and roll it into a ball. Use the palm of the hands as quickly as possible for making chocolate truffles NYC.
