These truffles all came about as I adore Dried Cranberry. So I made these, a truffle Cranberry version but if you don't like Cranberry - you can use any berries that you like ( raisins, dried apricots, prunes, or do not add berries at all).

Truffles with Dried Cranberries

Yield: 30 candies

Ingredients

candies

  • 30 grams of 33% heavy cream

  • 12 grams of glucose syrup

  • 110 grams of white chocolate 33%

  • 20 grams of 82.5% butter

  • 7 grams of rum (I use Bacardi as always)

  • 35 grams of dried cranberries (or any other berry of your choice)

  • 100 grams of coconut flakes (for coating) or white chocolate if you want to make truffles with a chocolate shell

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and glucose syrup and bring it to a boil.

Pour the hot cream mixture over the white chocolate.

Add the dried cranberries to the mixture.

Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and uniform using an immersion blender.

Add the butter and rum, and blend again until well incorporated.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface to prevent skin from forming.

Refrigerate for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, roll the mixture into round truffles, each weighing approximately 25 grams.

Roll each truffle in coconut flakes or dip them in melted chocolate, according to your preference.
