These are quick, easy and very festive. They will adorn our table at the end of the meal in case anyone is still remotely hungry.
King's Ginger Truffles
The recipe comes from Berry Brothers & Rudd as does The King's Ginger
Makes about 24
200g good quality chocolate
175ml double cream
5 tbspn The King's Ginger Liqueur
1 tspn finely chopped drained stem ginger in syrup
Cocoa powder for dusting
Line a baking tray with cling film.
Break the chocolate inot small pieces and drop into a heat proof bowl.
Bring the cream to the boil over a low flame and pour over the chocolate. Stir until all the chocolate is melted. Add the King's ~Ginger and the chopped stem ginger and mix well. Leave the mix to cool to room temperature which takes about 2 hours, when the mix will have stiffened nicely.
Use a teaspoon or melon baller and roll into interesting shapes. Roll in cocoa powder (I used toothpicks to turn them) and place on the baking sheet. Chill overnight.
Gorgeously ginger!
Happy Christmas everyone - eat well!
