Rose-flavoured White Chocolate truffles

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 at 6:14 am

Just experimented in working with melted chocolate.

I have very, VERY little experience in working with chocolates prior to this (apart from my miniture amaretto-cafe, white chocolate cups). So this is proof that watching cooking shows and online videos really can serve to inspire, motivate, and empower. With only determination, patience, and quality ingredients, anyone can make something special and something to be proud of.

Ganache filling: White chocolate chips, heavy cream, rose water.

Shell: White chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, tempered.

Decoration: White Jasmine flowers (Jasminum polyanthum) which, by the way, are edible!

Special notes: I bought a box of Toffifay candies from Walgreens and thought that it would serve as a very nice 2-3 time re-usable chocolate truffle mold. A Ziplock bag was used to “pipe” the dark chocolate onto the truffles. Crushed purple-amethyst sugar crystals were used in the ganache to give some color variation in the final product. The bottoms of the truffles were NOT shaved or smoothed so that they would stand out on the plate and to make it seem like it is hovering.

The only system in the World today that can print direct on standard chocolate without using transfer sheets.

This system can print 1600 lollipops of the size (70 mm) you see in the video, in only 8 hours production.

The total printing cost for a production of 1600 lollies is only 17 USD, 0.01 USD per lollipop.

Temper the chocolate, then place squares of flavoured chocolate into dark chocolate and then place on transfer paper. Let set in cooler. Filmed at Tipyn Bach Chocolate Company in North Wales.

Belgian chocolates and truffles melt in your mouth layer by layer. Try almond bark, pecan puddles, or other treats by season. You can buy gifts for everyone or simply treat yourself… Kawartha Dairy ice cream when it’s hot, apple cider when it’s not… preserves, maple products and more… any time.
