Around the World - Yuzu & Black Sesame (Japan)

Method

Yuzu and black sesame, a match made in heaven! These sweet but sharp chocolate truffles are surprisingly delightful, combining the rich, nuttiness of sesame and the complexity of Huila 70% dark chocolate with citrusy yuzu, it's a perfect balancing act.

Perfect with a cup of black tea in your finest china!

How to Make Black Sesame and Yuzu Chocolate Truffles:

Makes 35-40 Hand Rolled Truffles

1. Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a pan and set aside
2. Make the ganache by warming the cream and yuzu flavour burst in the microwave. ⠀⠀
3. Pour over the Luker Huila chocolate buttons and allow to melt.
4. Stir to make the ganache and then put in the fridge to set (this may take up to 3 hours)
5. Once set, take out of the fridge, and with a teaspoon take enough ganache to make the required truffle size.
6. Roll into a circle and coat the truffles in the Chocolate Splitters and sesame seeds 
7. Place back in the fridge to set further.

Enjoyed this recipe? Add a little extra zing by sprinkling the finished truffles with yuzu powder! Or swap the dark chocolate for a sweet and creamy white chocolate, to counteract the sharpness of the citrus.
