Steps:
- Chop the chocolate and tip into a large bowl. Put the cream and butter into a saucepan and heat gently until the butter melts and the cream reaches simmering point. Remove from heat, then pour over the chocolate. Stir the chocolate and cream together until you have a smooth mixture. Add any flavourings to the truffle mix at this stage (divide the mixture between bowls and mix in liqueurs or other flavourings, a tsp at a time, to taste. Try bourbon, Grand Marnier, coconut rum or the zest and juice of an orange), or leave plain. Cool and chill for at least 4 hrs.
- To shape the truffles, dip a melon baller in hot water and scoop up balls of the mixture, then drop the truffles onto greaseproof paper. Or lightly coat your hands in flavourless oil (such as sunflower) and roll the truffles between your palms. You could also use a piping bag to pipe rounds onto baking parchment.
- Coat your truffles immediately after shaping. Tip toppings into a bowl and gently roll the truffles until evenly coated, then chill on baking parchment. Try: crushed, shelled pistachio nuts; lightly toasted desiccated coconut; or roll a truffle flavoured with orange zest and juice in cocoa powder. To coat in chocolate, line a baking tray with baking parchment. Melt 100g milk, dark or white chocolate for 10 truffles. Allow chocolate to cool slightly. With a fork, pick up one truffle at a time and hold over the bowl of melted chocolate. Spoon the chocolate over the truffle until well-coated. Place on the baking tray, then chill.
- To give as presents, place 8-10 truffles in individual foil or paper cases inside small, lined boxes tied with ribbon. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to give them. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for three days, or frozen for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge overnight.

- Using the wrong chocolate. Not all chocolates are created equal and since chocolate makes up more than 50 percent of the ganache mixture for truffles, you’ve got to break out the good stuff.
- Not finely chopping the chocolate. For melting or folding into batters, roughly chopped chocolate can do just fine, but for truffles, finely chopped chocolate is mandatory for the smoothest bite.
- Not properly heating the cream. You can make two mistakes when it comes to the cream for your truffles: it’s either too cold to melt the chocolate, or too hot and scorches the chocolate.
- Trying to scoop too-warm ganache. Once the cream and chocolate are whisked together, you have a thick, smooth mixture known as ganache. You might think that it’s scoopable right out of the bowl, but you’ll need to cool it properly before scooping and rolling.
- Leaving the truffles unadorned. You can absolutely eat your truffles right after scooping and rolling, but besides being beautiful, covering the truffles with anything from nuts to cocoa powder protects the creamy centers from bumps, bruises, and moisture in the fridge.
