Easy Rum Truffles

[janeyo]

Have made these before at xmas and they rarely last til the actual day....

Sorry it's in imperial as from an old book.

6oz plain choc
4 fluid oz double cream
2 tbl dark rum
cocoa powder or icing sugar for dusting.

Heat cream til boiling. Take off heat and add choc stirring til it melts. stri in rum and leave to cool for about half an hour. Whisk til it holds a peak then chill until firm enough to handle (at least an hour). dust hand with icing sugar or cocoa powder then shape into balls. Roll in more powder, then chill until needed.

Can be lept for up to 3 days in fridge but I have kept mine for a week before.

I am sure you can prob substitute the alcohol for whatever takes your fancy and if you do I'd love to know so I can experiment!

Were you on the booze when you typed this?!! - lol - will be trying out - thanks for sharing!

Think my hand goes a bit quicker than my brain..... or is it vice versa?!

I have discovered that the it's better to use the cocoa than the icing sugar as it can stay a bit wet, whereas the cocoa powder doesn't.

I just bought rum to make these - decided to pour a glass of it to try, on ice. YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!!

I was almost sick - I'm sure it'll be fine when disguised in chocolate though!
