Low Fat Chocolate Truffles Food

LOW FAT CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Gently melt the chocolate (either in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water, or nuke it in the microwave in short bursts)and set aside.
• Gently pour in the liqueur and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will thicken really quickly.
• Add the honey a tablespoon at a time, slowly mixing with the chocolate until the mixture gets really nice and glossy.
• Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.
• Sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto a clean chopping board / large bowl / work surface.
• Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated.
• Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
• Store in the fridge in a jar or Tupperware tub.

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Add the cocoa powder to a small bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in the milk and maple syrup. Stir with a fork until all of the cocoa powder is fully incorporated. (It takes some effort and patience. See Notes!) Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into 16 balls. (If the mixture sticks to your hands, wipe them with a very lightly moistened paper towel in between rolling each one.) After rolling each one, place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Coat the truffles, if desired (see Notes!), before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
