Ingredients
- 200g Marzipan Almond Paste (SCM390A)
- 250g Cream (SCM280P)
- 400g Callebaut W2 Fairtrade White Chocolate (SCC1687)
- 300g Marzipan Almond Paste (SCM390A)
- 50g Amaretto 60%
- 200g Callebaut Very Bitter Dark Chocolate (SCC1507) for enrobing
- 125 Truffle Shells (SCS400)
Method
Using the finest quality marzipan and a splash of amaretto, these heavenly chocolate truffles combine the sweet, nuttiness of almond with the creaminess of chocolate. It's a classic combination that never goes out of style!
How to Make Marzipan Truffles:
Makes approx. 125 truffles at 10g each.
For the Marzipan Ganache
- Heat the cream and marzipan (200g) together gently to form a smooth paste (80°C). Mix in the white chocolate and allow to cool.
For the Amaretto-Marzipan Filling
- Mix the marzipan (300g) with the Amaretto until a smooth paste.
Finishing
- Fill your ready-made truffle shells with the cooled Marzipan Ganache to about two thirds (2/3), then top up with the Amaretto Marzipan filling.
- After cooling, cap the opening with chocolate and allow to set.
- Enrobe the finished truffles in dark chocolate (or milk chocolate or white chocolate, if you prefer, just swap the truffle shells too), and decorate as required.
