Dark, chocolate balls rolled in ground pistachios.

One of the smallest but riches bites.  Chocolate truffles are a great treat for all chocoholics and are very easy to prepare at home.

I made chocolate ganache from chocolate and whipping cream. When it cools, shape it into balls and roll it over pistachios. So easy, right? If not all the balls disappear in time, we can also store them in the fridge.

Chocolate truffles with pistachios

Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 30 balls

Ingredients

  • Chocolate truffles with pistachios
  • 1,5 deciliters of whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon of rum
  • A few drops of vanilla aroma
  • 50 grams of peeled pistachios
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Put the cream in a cooking pot and heat it until just before boiling and remove from the heat. Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and put it in the cream.
  • Leave for a minute or two for the chocolate to soften nicely, then start mixing it and continue until you get a nicely bound ganache.
  • Allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to harden.
  • Grind the pistachio into powder (use kitchen blender) and add a little salt if it is unsalted. If the pistachio is already salty, skip the salt.
  • Take the hardened ganache and with the help of a teaspoon and your hands, form a small ball, roll it in pistachios and place it on a serving piece of paper or tray.
    Continue until you run out of ingredients.
