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 to prepare is the choco bar. This bar should be placed on a chopping board. After all, one will have to cut this up into little pieces to make it easier to melt. Of course, there are times when the lines of the bar are sufficient enough to cut the said ingredient into the right size. It will make the work a lot easier.

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.

Once the prepare for the choco has been done, put the pan with the choco in it on top of the medium pan which contains around one liter of water. The individual should keep the bottom of the pan with the choco from touching the water that is in the medium pan. Remember to stir the choco constantly until it melts. It will take around eight minutes to be successful in this.

Adding the cream is the next part. If possible, one should mix this as gently as one could. The ganache should be able to mix well if the person continuously stirs the mixture until every ingredients are completely blended in. Once everything is blended well, remove it from the heat and let it rest until it cools down.

Adding the butter will come next. If the pastry chef plans to add the butter, then the water in the medium pan should be brought to a simmer once again. Place the pan with ganache on top of the medium pan again. Just add in the butter and continue to stir it well. Once done, take it out.

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.

After an hour, the person can proceed into making the truffle. Just get the bowl out of the fridge and put it on top of one's work surface. The cocoa should be prepared as well. Just put a certain amount of cocoa in a medium bowl.

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.
