Ingredients
FOR THE GANACHE:
- 255g cream
- 380g dark chocolate
- 120g gianduja milk chocolate
- 60g salted butter
- 200ml pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
- 150g praline paste
- Pinch of sea salt
OTHER INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
- 400g chocolate, to temper
- Maple flakes, to decorate
Method
- Chop the butter into small pieces and allow it to soften at room temperature.
- Chop up the dark chocolate and gianduja milk chocolate, then place into a metal bowl.
- Boil your cream in a saucepan. Once boiled, pour this over the chocolate and mix until it starts to come together.
- Boil your maple syrup, and then pour into the cream and chocolate mixture. Mix continuously until it forms a silky emulsion.
- Add the praline paste and sea salt and mix well.
- Add the softened butter and mix until fully combined.
- Leave to cool for approximately one hour. While setting, prepare a tray lined with non-stick paper.
- Once your ganache starts to firm, add it to a piping bag. Pipe bulbs onto the lined tray to make your truffles. This recipe makes approximately 50 truffles. Allow to set fully, for approximately 30 minutes.
- Prepare a second tray lined with non-stick paper.
- Temper the separate dark chocolate, then dip each truffle into the chocolate, place on the clean tray and immediately sprinkle with maple flakes. Allow to set for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
