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 that the individual will have to take care of is the choco bar. The individual should place the bar on the chopping board. Proceed on cutting or breaking it into square pieces. The best way to go about this is to follow the lines on the bar. There may be times when that is not possible because the bar is divided into very large pieces, though.

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.

The choco will have to be melted thoroughly. That is why it is recommended to put the pan where the choco is placed in on top of the pan with the simmering water. The bottom of the pan with choco should never touch with the water in the bottom pan. Do not forget to stir the choco as well. To successfully melt the choco, do this for eight minutes.

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.

The next step is to add butter. To add a good amount of butter, the individual should remember to bring the water to a simmer again before placing the pan with the ganache in it into the heat. The butter should then be added and stirred so that it will completely melt into the mixture. After one is done with this, turn the heat off and then remove the pan.

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.

Make the truffle. Just take out the bowl from the fridge and put it in the work surface. The cocoa powder should be prepared into a medium bowl too.

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.
