Method

  • step 1

    Put the cream in a small pan, then bring just to the boil. Put chocolates in separate bowls, then divide the butter between each. Tip half of the cream over each bowl of chocolate. Leave for about 1 min then stir until melted and smooth. Allow to cool.

  • step 2

    Divide the shortbread, fruit and orange zest between the bowls, stir, then chill for at least 4 hrs until firm.

  • step 3

    Using a teaspoon, scoop out the mixtures and form into small truffles. Sift the icing sugar onto a plate and roll the white chocolate truffles in it. Do the same with the cocoa and the dark chocolate truffles, then chill until needed. Can be made up to a day ahead.

I recommend grating the butter and chocolate - makes the mixing much easier. Otherwise the cream starts to become too cool to melt them before they are fully mixed in.

Needed 20 seconds in microwave to complete the melting, but otherwise easy recipe and lovely result.

Inadvertently used half the amount of chocolate (dark only as I couldnât find any white), am guessing they came out a bit softer as a consequence, but not half bad. Dusted them in half and half cocoa and icing sugar as I'd used quite bitter/strong chocolate.

Delicious! I made these with my 10 year old for some friends for after dinner and they received lots of compliments. My friends husband loved them so much she asked for the recipe. They were both happy because she likes white chocolate and he likes dark! They looked really impressive in their little…
