No one can eat just one!!

Truffles are best gifts and also a perfect way to end a party when you see smiles on your guests faces as they devour them. I made these truffles for my mom’s kitty party! Heard that they enjoyed the Truffles especially the Rum flavouring in it 😉 
Makes -15 Truffles

Ingredients:

• 150 grams dark chocolate( I used Ghirardelli 86% intense dark)
• 150 grams Double Cream
• 50 grams butter
• Rum few teaspoons 
• 100 grams melted chocolate either white or dark for dipping

Method:

• In a pan bring the double cream and butter to a boil and pour it on the dark chocolate bowl. Wait for a minute.
• Now keep stiring the chocolate mixture until it is nice and smooth. You may feel the chocolate and cream aren’t gelling together. Don worry as you keep mixing you will get a nice glossy mixture.

• At this time you can start adding any flavourings of your choice or omit it.
• I added Rum. After each teaspoon mix the mixture well and taste. You can add Rum until you feel the flavour is sufficient.
• After mixing it well, place this chocolate mixture in refrigerator for about three hours so that it gets firm.
• After three hours, now the mixture will be firm and no longer in pouring consistency. Now using a mini ice cream scooper scoop out the mixture to form round balls.
• Oil your hands slightly so that you can make round shaped balls.
• In separate bowls keep cocoa powder, melted chocolate, ground pistachios or sprinlers for dips.
• I used only cocoa powder and melted chocolate as dips.
• Drop the truffles inside the melted chocolate and coat them well. Roll few truffles onto cocoa powder tooo until well coated and place them on a parchment paper and refrigerate until served.
• I drizzled white chocolate for more appetising look on the chocolate coated truffles.
• Consume within two days by storing in air tight container.

P.S:

• You can easily double the recipe tooo.
• Do not over boil butter and cream because when poured over chocolate it may seize.
• Start to dip or coat in desired toppings as soon as you shape into balls.
• Enjoy your truffles and I bet you wouldn’t step into a store buy them 🙂 

When life gives you Lemons throw it back and ask for “Bounty Bars” 🙂

Bounty Bars have always been everybody’s favourite. Here’s a simple and quick recipe to chew on.

Serves 15 to 18 bars

Ingredients:

200 grams Desiccated Coconut

200 ml condensed milk

300 grams semi sweet choco chips or any chocalate bar

Method:

• In a bowl mix Desiccated coconut and condensed milk well.
• Once it comes together and forms into a ball, make rectangular shaped bars.
• Place these coconut bars into freezer for 15 to 20 minutes so that they are firm and are ready to be dipped into the chocolate.
• In the meanwhile double boil the choco chips/bar.
• Start coating the coconut bars into this chocolate mixture well.
• Place these bars in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or leave it in a cool place.
• Bounty bars are ready to chew on.

P.S:

• If these bounty bars are not refrigerated then consume within three days. I refrigerated and enjoyed them for five days. It was slightly hard but yet enjoyable.
• I used desiccated coconut, you can use fresh coconut scrapings but pulse it at intervals in a mixer. Don’t over pulse it as it may turn mushy. Later fry this coconut in a pan until dry and follow the recipe. I would suggest you to use desiccated coconut to save time and also to keep it simple.
