How to Make Limoncello Truffles:
Makes 35-40 Hand Rolled Truffles
- Warm the cream in the microwave.
- Add the cream to the Sao Thome Origin dark chocolate and stir to form a nice ganache
- Then add the limoncello and lemon zest.
- Leave to set in the fridge (This may take up to 3 hours)
- Once set take out of the fridge, and with a teaspoon take enough ganache to make the required truffle size.
- Roll into a circle and coat the truffles in the Milk Chocolate Splitters
- Pop the truffles back in the fridge after rolling to set further
