Truffle Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring until smooth.
Mix in the Flavors
Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the Nikka whisky, mashed banana, and yuzu juice until fully combined and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Form the Truffles
Using a small scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll them into balls with your hands.
Coat the Truffles
Roll the truffles in cocoa powder to coat them evenly. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Serve
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes before serving, or enjoy immediately.
