Ingredients
Ingredients for Chocolate Molds
- 100 g Red Molding Wafers
- 100 g Pink Molding Wafers
Ingredients for Chocolate Ganache Filling
- 100 g Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chopped
- 90 g Heavy Cream
- Any kind of Chocolate chopped
- Nutella and tossed Hazelnuts chopped
- Oreos chopped
- Peanut Caramel Clusters chopped
Instructions
- Heat the Molding Wafers on simmering water. It should not be boiling as chocolate needs to melt slowly. Once it's melty, stir until its smooth and put it in a Ziploc bag. The working temperature of the molded chocolate is around 30-35 C degree. Reheat if the temp. goes down.
- Pour the red color chocolate in the mold on one side and pink on the other side to create a marbled look, Spread the chocolate with a brush to coat the mold evenly. Tap the filled molds on the counter to knock out the air bubbles.
- Drip out the chocolate asap, don't let it sit to get stiff in the molds. A thick coating should remain in molds at the end. Set in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
Fill the Molds
- Heat the heavy cream until it's just about to boil. Pour it over the chopped semi-sweet or dark chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir the mixture until smooth. Sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or until its not too hot to melt the molds.
- Chop the chocolate, Oreo Biscuits, Peanut caramel clusters and heat some Nutella. Fill in each mold with your favorite toppings leaving some space top of the mold. Let sit for 5 minutes in fridge before pouring the melted molding wafers and sealing the truffles. Scrape of the excess for a smooth finish.
- Chill the truffles in Fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours before wrapping them in some gold wrapper. Pack them in a pretty box and decorate the thoughtful handmade gift for your loved one.
