Directions
Low Fat Chocolate Truffles, From a UK TV show I saw tonight (Cook Yourself Thin) these sound divine and are apparently 53kcals each and really quite low fat (all things considered) They were made with champagne on the TV show and are listed with coffee on the website, but it says you can pretty much vary the liquid up to that of your choosing, i e liqueur, coffee, tea or herbs For personal preferences I’m going to list it with Tia Maria as that’s what I’d try first Please note that chilling time (30mins) is not included in the timings I made these the other night and they are really good Although it seems a lot of booze, etc the flavour is quite subtle Once made you need to refrigerate before consumption as the flavour develops better this way , These are very good and very easy! However the way the recipe is written 2 tablespoons honey is not enough for my family’s sweet preference It makes an extremely intense product I guess it’s a good thing considering that it forces you to eat just one at a time instead of the whole lot I will make these again but will change the amount of sugar added By the way, we used part cold coffee and part hazelnut liquor , Made these yesterday for my MIL who is seriously chocoholic and loves truffles but does neither buy nor make them for herself She nearly jumped through the ceiling after trying the first of these, and I’m afraid they will all be gone by tomorrow! Thanks for this simple but outstanding recipe – you really made an old lady happy 😉
