Low Fat Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

• 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
• 6 tablespoons Tia Maria
• 2 tablespoons clear honey (ie. acacia)
• cocoa powder (to dust)

Directions

1. 1

   Gently melt the chocolate (either in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water, or nuke it in the microwave in short bursts)and set aside.

2. 2

   Gently pour in the liqueur and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will thicken really quickly.

3. 3

   Add the honey a tablespoon at a time, slowly mixing with the chocolate until the mixture gets really nice and glossy.

4. 4

   Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.

5. 5

   Sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto a clean chopping board / large bowl / work surface.

6. 6

   Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated.

7. 7

   Repeat until all the mixture is used up.

8. 8

   Store in the fridge in a jar or Tupperware tub.
