Food Friday: His & Hers Christmas Truffles

Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

For our Food Friday recipe we've come up with something that you can make ahead for Christmas, the only problem is that I doubt you'll be able to wait that long to eat the lot. Today it's the turn of Penny Smith to make something delicious for us in her kitchen in Countesthorpe... His & Hers Christmas Truffles These truffles are a terrific Christmas standby as once you’ve made the basic truffle you can pop them on a tray in the freezer and when they’re frozen solid, you can put them in a freezer bag. Then when you want them just leave them to defrost for a couple of hours in the fridge and coat just before serving! Ingredients 200 ml double cream 75g light muscavado sugar 250g dark chocolate I like Callebaut 53.8% Small pinch of sea salt His Coatings 50 g pistachios (crush after peppercorns) Half a teaspoon black pepper crushed well in a pestle and mortar Her Coatings Freeze dried raspberry granules (10grm tube is plenty) Edible pink glitter of your choice! mix together to make your glitterberry coating!
