Ingredients

  • 400g Milk Chocolate (Finely Chopped)
  • 118ml Double Cream (Room Temperature)
  • 80g Orange Marmalade (Coeur de Xocolat Marmalade)
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Liqueur
  • 1 Medium Orange (Zest)
  • 20g Cocoa Powder

Method

Step 1
Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, add cream and blast in the microwave for 30 seconds stir and repeat until chocolate is smooth and melted, reducing the cooking time by seconds by 5 each time
Step 2
Remove chocolate mixture from the microwave, add marmalade, liqueur, and zest, and stir until combined. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Step 3
Once set, scoop the ganache into teaspoon-size balls.
Roll between the palms of your hands to create smooth round truffles, place on a baking sheet, and repeat with remaining ganache
Step 4
Place cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll truffles in the powder to coat, shaking off excess. Reroll truffles in additional cocoa powder before serving, if necessary.
These can be dipped in tempered milk chocolate and decorated with candied orange peel.
