| Cardamom And Chilli Chocolate Truffles |
| ½ cup cream |
| ½ tsp ground cardamom |
| ¼ tsp chilli powder |
| 300 g dark cooking chocolate, finely chopped |
| 50 g butter, at room temperature |
| 30 ml bourbon |
| 70 g cocoa powder |
|

|
|
| 1 |
Combine the cream, cardamom and chilli powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil. Add the chocolate and butter, and remove from heat. Set aside, stirring occasionally with a metal spoon, for 5 minutes or until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. |
| 2 |
Add bourbon and use a metal spoon to stir until smooth. |
| 3 |
Pour the chocolate mixture into a small container (make sure the chocolate mixture is at least 3cm deep). Place in the fridge for 4 hours or until firm. |
| 4 |
Place the cocoa in a deep plastic container. Dip a melon baller or a small metal spoon into boiling water and scoop out 1 ball from the chocolate mixture. Tap the truffle directly into the cocoa. Gently shake the container to evenly coat the truffle in the cocoa. Transfer the truffle to a small paper case. Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture. Serve. |
