How Do You Make Truffles Dipped In White Chocolate?
Chocolate truffles are chocolate mixed with cream and butter and formed into a rough sphere. They were traditionally dusted in cocoa powder. Their imperfect shape and dusted coating made them look like the fungi called truffles, which is how candy truffles got their name. Truffles can also be dipped in melted chocolate that hardens into a shell. Any chocolate can be used, including white chocolate. White chocolate couverture is the most stable and easiest form to work with. It’s available as a bar or as round, quarter-sized chips. Place the chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl. Combine the butter and cream in the pot and heat them together until boiling. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and leave the chocolate alone for about 2 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula to stir the cream into the chocolate, starting from the center of the bowl and slowly circling out. Stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps of chocolate
