Truffle Roulette
And to add to your “monster bash”, here’s my popular Truffle Roulette recipe - will you get a trick or will you get a treat? Just remember you’ll have to start this recipe the day before you plan to use them.
Ingredients
For the Truffles
- 530 g dark or milk chocolate
- 360 ml fresh cream
- 100 g cocoa powder
For the treats
- 5 smarties
- 5 jelly tots
For the tricks
- 5 pickled onions
- 2 sliced gherkins (chopped into 5 pieces each)
Instructions
- Break up the chocolate and add it to a heatproof bowl with the cream.
- With adult supervision, gently melt both together over a pan of simmering water. Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Stir until smooth, then take off the heat.
- Pour the chocolate and cream mixture into a lined 2lb loaf tin. Place in the fridge overnight to set.
- Once set, scoop out a teaspoonful of the mixture at a time.
- Poke a “trick” (pickled onion or gherkin piece) or a “treat” (Smartie or Jelly Tot) into the centre of each portion.
- Roll each portion into a ball the size of a chestnut.
- Finish by rolling the truffle in cocoa powder.
- Repeat with the remaining fillings.
- Chill until ready to serve. Then let the games begin!
