Truffles complete
My kitchen is a mess – I’ll clean it up tomorrow. My fridge has been taken over by truffle weekend…
…but mission accomplished: I have them all ready to take to work in the morning.
I always have two colours of curling ribbon so that I can mark “special” bags. Ths year there is just the one – an all white choc bag for someone who unluckily has cocoa mass as a migraine trigger.
In the end there are five flavours: white choc limoncello, white choc apricot & brandy, milk choc pistachio & baileys, dark choc rum & raisin and dark choc cointreau. There was a sixth but I put too much cream in and had trouble getting it to set. It’s still in the freezer, in truffle size pieces but not really rollable. I might use it for a cake or dessert.
I know I’m usually bad at remembering to blog the recipes, but I took plenty of photos along the way and will post several posts this week on how to make your own truffles, and the recipes for those I made.

It’s not quite the same doing all my christmas treat making without our truffle adventures together. Can you believe I didn’t make any truffles this year?
They look fantastic Nic and sound tasty as always

Yummy! I made rum balls tonight but they are really gooey and not setting up. I’m wishing that I had made limoncello truffles instead!
