Method

  • step 1

    Gently heat the double cream and butter until just steaming. Put the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl, pour over the warm cream and stir to melt. Stir in the marsala, then mix the espresso powder with 1 tbsp boiling water and add this as well. Chill for 1-2 hrs, or until firm enough to scoop. Use a teaspoon to scoop the mixture and gently roll into balls using your hands (you may want to use gloves). Put on a lined baking tray and freeze for 30 mins.

  • step 2

    Heat the white chocolate in the microwave for 1-2 mins, or until melted, then dip each ball in the white chocolate and return to the tray using a fork. Dust with a little espresso powder while the chocolate is still soft. Return to the freezer for 10-15 mins to set. Will keep in the fridge for three days.

question

Where do people get marsala from? Or what is a good substitute!

medisin

Off licence, supermarket with a big wine section, or online. You could use sherry as a sub in most recipes, but for this one you could use any booze you’ve got - rum or whisky would work really well, or some kind of liqueur, or you could just leave it out.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can swap for milk choc. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

These taste amazing, freeze really well and defrost quickly. I made with normal coffee granules rather than expresso, and there was still a strong coffee flavour. The only problem I have is that they are just so morish

question

Can you freeze the truffles?

medisin

They’ll last for ages in the fridge (although they taste best at room temp). You don’t really need to freeze them unless that’s your way of avoiding temptation.
