Around the World - Lime & Chilli Truffle (Mexico)

Method

Travel to Mexico with chocolate truffles made with fiery red chilli! We love the idea of having a Mexican themed dinner and then serving these as your Mexican inspired dessert! You could even pair them with a lime sorbet or lime flavoured gelato. You'll no doubt have a fiesta in your mouth... 

How to Make Lime & Chilli Truffles:

Makes 35-40 Hand Rolled Truffles

1. Heat the cream with the Red Chilli Spice Drops in the microwave. ⠀
2. Pour the cream and chilli over the Sao Thome dark chocolate buttons and stir to make the ganache. You may need to pop the mixture in the microwave for 5 seconds if the chocolate hasn't melted. ⠀
3. Stir in the lime zest and put it in the fridge to set (this may take up to 3 hours).
4. Once set take out of the fridge, and with a teaspoon take enough ganache to make the required truffle size.
5. Roll into a circle and coat the truffles in the Milk Chocolate Splitters.
6. Pop the truffles back in the fridge after rolling to set further. ⠀
