Steps
This recipe is really very simple. Start by chopping the dark chocolate. Reduce it to flakes using a sharp knife and a clean and odorless cutting board. Transfer it to a bowl large enough to easily hold the cream as well.
In a saucepan, always very clean, heat the cream with the glucose. Melt the glucose while stirring, and turn off the heat before the cream reaches a boil.
Now pour the hot cream over the flakes of 70% dark chocolate . Stir with a spatula or a hand whisk until the chocolate has completely melted. Let it cool and then refrigerate to set for at least a couple of hours.
When the chocolate ganache is well set, proceed to form quenelles with two coffee teaspoons
Then proceed to roll them in almond flour, place them on a tray with a sheet of parchment paper. Store them in the refrigerator.
My Advice
Dark chocolate truffles can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator covered with cling film. If they are intended for guests and you want to make a good impression, wait to coat them with almond flour.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use something else instead of almond flour?
Sure, like all chocolate truffles you can dust them with unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut flour, colorful sprinkles, or hazelnut crumbs, etc.
Do I really have to make quenelles with teaspoons?
You can also form balls, always helping yourself with a teaspoon and then quickly roll them with your fingertips in the almonds. Be careful to heat them as little as possible, to not melt them.
