Ingredients

For the truffles

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • To form the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.  As it begins to simmer, whisk in the malt powder, stirring until evenly combined.  Once the cream has come to a boil, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate.  Allow the mixture to sit for 2 to 3 minutes.  With a heatproof spatula, stir until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is combined.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then cover the bowl with a towel and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and malt powder for the topping.
  • Use a tablespoon to scoop out some ganache and quickly roll into a ball.  Body heat will cause the ganache to start melting quickly; kitchen gloves will provide a barrier and make the rolling process easier.  Toss in the topping and set aside.  Repeat until all of the chocolate has been used.
  • The truffles will soften as they warm, so keep them refrigerated before serving.
