Ingredients (makes 10-12 truffles)

  • 100g 54% dark couverture chocolate, chopped fine
  • 125g cream 
  • 50g walnut butter {recipe follows}
  • 25g dried cranberries

To dip

  • 200g 54% dark couverture chocolate
  • 10ml extra virgin olive oil
  • Place the chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream to almost boiling, then pour over the chocolate and let it stand for 10-15 minutes until soft. Whisk gently until smooth and leave to come to room temperature.
  • Stir in the nut butter and dried cranberries, then cling wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight until firm enough to shape into balls.
  • Roll into walnut-sized balls, and place in the freezer while you make the melted chocolate dip.

  • Pinch sea salt
  • 2 tbsp jaggery powder
  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
