Orange Chocolate Truffles

I wanted to make something for my friends that did not have peanut butter so that Mt hubby could eat too. So I went for Orange Chocolate Truffles.  They are so simple but lovely.

Ingredients
1 orange
200g Milk Chocolate - good chocolate  
100mls of double cream

Method
zest the orange and sqeeze all the juice out.  Simmer in a pot until the liquid has reduced to 1Tbs

Bring the cream to a simmer, not a boil.

while doing this grate your chocolate and put in a bowl.

Add the cream into the chocolate and stir in the centre until the two ingredients start to come together.  Then stir in all the chocolate.  Add the orange and do a gentle stir.

Pour into a shallow container and refrigerate.

when it has been set for a few hours scoop out with a spoon and roll in balls.  Roll in icing sugar.

these will keep in freezer for 1 month or the fridge for 4 days.  

Mmmmmmmmmm......... these are out of this world.  

Stay tuned as I have done rasberry and also Maple syrup and pecan ones as well.
