DIRECTIONS FOR: ANNA OLSON'S CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Cooking ingredients:
For Chocolate Truffles
- 2 cup whipping cream
- 16 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
For Pistachio Brandy Truffles
- brandy
- chopped pistachios for garnish
For Orange Truffles
- orange liqueur
- candied orange peel for garnish
For White & Dark Truffles
- white chocolate, melted
- dark chocolate, melted
Chocolate Truffles baking directions:
1. For the ganache, heat the cream until it just begins to simmer and then pour this over the 16 ounces of chopped chocolate. Let this sit a minute, then gently stir with a spatula starting at the centre and widening the circles until the chocolate has fully melted and the ganache is smooth. Divide the ganache into smaller bowls, and stir in desired flavourings (as below), then chill completely before shaping into truffles.
2. To make truffles, use a small ice cream scoop or a teaspoon to spoon out about ½-ounce of the ganache and shape into a ball by rolling between your palms. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking tray and chill until ready to roll or dip.
3. Roll the truffles into desired fillings (listed below) or dip into melted chocolate using truffle forks, shake off excess chocolate and place n a cooling rack that rests over a parchment-lined baking tray. Chill the truffles just to set them, but then store in a cool place.
Pistachio Brandy Truffles
1. Stir a little brandy (about 1 teaspoon into 1/3 of the ganache) into the ganache before chilling, then roll the shaped truffles in chopped pistachios.
Orange Truffles
1. Stir a little orange liqueur (about 1 teaspoon into 1/3 of the ganache) into the ganache before chilling, then dip the truffle in melted dark chocolate and place a small piece of candied orange peel on top before the chocolate sets.
White & Dark Truffles
1. Dip the truffle in melted white chocolate, then drizzle the truffles with melted dark chocolate. Or, dip the truffles in the dark chocolate and drizzle with white chocolate.

Myself, I would add Bailey's to one and coffee (freeze-dried crystals that have been pounded to a fine powder) to the the other. Also good would be Amaretto for an almonds flavoring.

Making dark chocolate truffles for school this week and this video gave me some insightful information. So, thanks! :)

[@heididelateja7573]

GREAT SPEAKING VOICE! Easy recipe!

[@mkivy]

I make these every Christmas for give always. I eat one, well maybe two...and that’s it...I promise!

[@TheBrethart2009]

I find that chocolate looks really intresting being rolled in chopped pistachios!

[@thequeenofresources]

It is really nice to see you finally enjoy your backyard with friends and not fixing or repairing something around your house. Very nice change on your channel ❤

[@JuneHarriseco]

The ganache itself looked a bit too memory at room temp, even for a truffle, but I must say, I love the parchment paper as a tool to decorate. It's certainly more eco-friendly than using a plastic bag.

[@mrsccs2814]

Hi How do you stop cholates from sticking to the wire grid? I made mini chocolate rolls and couldn't get them off. Thanks good video.

[@dannyvicencio]

First time doing this. I’m making the brandy one. I tasted it before putting it in the fridge and it tastes goooood! Can’t wait if this will be a success. (I’m usually a failure at baking but there are times when I succeed.) 😂 I’m excited!!!

[@Bpacs12]

How did it go?

[@JacqulineTheRapper]

It’s okay to love the internet.

[@tomsilva7324]

Do you add cream to dark chocolate for dipping? How to you keep the dipping chocolate from getting hard, do you reheat it in a double boiler or incorporate a fat like butter or solid coconut?

[@elishavillalinoguinto9875]

So easy .. i will try this in christmas ..

[@ohyum]

That's a great idea!

[@synchronicity67]

quick question- when u say chill it down completely, does it mean keep in the deep freezer or d regular refrigerator shelves? also keeping overnight would be ok? thanks

[@veroniquetuzizila5556]

Regular

[@oskarvonreuenthal7732]

Anna, please teach us how to temper chocolate. Thank you!

[@kaystersolers6560]

Thank you these look lovely! How long do they last? Xx

[@MeLonMSP]

I'm concerned with their practicality at room temperature. Would they melt quickly? Or could they be out and still be somewhat stiff?

[@nikkimoseanko-martin3875]

If the chocolate they're dipped in is tempered well it should hold up. The pistachio one I assume will be messy and hard to pick up after it sits at room temp so long. However you can cook the ganache to a more thick consistency. I've never seen it done with just warm cream and chocolate chips. I've worked in chocolate business for a while. This would be fun to pull out of the fridge and serve up at a party quickly but not something you want to put in a box and deliver as a gift etc.

[@architaanand3136]

@@nikkimoseanko-martin3875 while delivering chocolate, does covering them with a foil or paper prevent them from melting on the way or is it just for the appearance?

[@kavitawagh3517]

Nice recipe love from India

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Thank you for this tutorial Anna. Question please....how did you melt the white chocolate and what kind did you use?

[@poojatehlan9894]

Till what time you put in refrigerator after creating the truffle .?

[@eldagarza1628]

Look delicious Anna, thanks a lot for sharing

[@alinakhawaja920]

Lovely recipe

[@tomsparks6099]

Question if you can: Do these need to stay cool, or can they be wrapped or stored (say as for a gift?)

[@emila732]

thay can but not too long

[@melianatan3304]

Hi anna ...I like you vedios ..thank you for all delicious recipes ..

@Oh Yum With Anna Olson Despite refrigerating my bowl of chocolate+whip all night, it's creamy more like a pudding. How could I make it hard enough to actually make spheres out of it?

[@debcham547]

Same here. I wish I could find the previous recipe I followed. They turned out perfect!! I just cannot remember where I found the recipe!! >

[@user-nf3nt5dp3f]

Plz in the cooking ingredients : the chocolate is real chocolate ? Or compound ??

[@margaretolson8182]

Hi from another Olson. Those look fantastic.

[@bhupinder2613]

We have to store them at room temperature or in fridge

[@cynthiahutchinson9995]

When I dipped my truffle in the white chocolate the white chocolate turned brown ?

[@maryambhawpal]

this is so delicious plz plz plz make the authentic rafellow truffels plz it's a request

[@countryannescreations1005]

If you wanted to use milk chocolate what is the cream ratio for the milk chocolate?

[@shmy3490]

These Truffles look so so good!!!

[@ohyum]

They are!

[@daphne6619]

How did you keep the chocolate from seizing?

[@lgbassett]

Hi Anna. Thank you so much for your videos. For the truffles you don’t add butter. Why do some recipes call for butter?

[@expressocakes-hyderabad3835]

In which chocolate u dipped the ganache? In chocolate or chocolate compound? Plz do share

[@commentingaccount1383]

can you use some butter in the ganache to make a firmer truffle?

[@crooked_pepper]

Ratio of cream and chocolate is so versatile.. in youtube im confusing..

[@mashwehla3343]

do they firm up to room temp, or does it have to be stored in the fridge

[@crazychildcj]

The dipped ones might be able to withstand room temp, but most homemade truffles should be stored in the fridge for a few days (if they last that long)

[@sharmisthaiyer3632]

How can 2 cup cream and a pound of chocolate be one is to one?

[@MeiMeicloset]

nice

[@staystaystaywithme6456]

Is it necessary to use cream for ganache? Or is it okay to use butter instead?

[@begrateful9836]

Thanks Ann for such a good recipe❤ May i know , do you have a bakery?

[@ohyum]

Thanks Humna and no I do not... A little busy making recipe books and television shows!

[@emila732]

how many truffles will I get from your recipe ?

[@aurasuneja9314]

Is it sweetened whipping cream or unsweatened

[@karminiparsan4440]

gorgeous!!!

[@jyotijain6346]

What is the shelf life of these truffles?

[@wtocci]

Following another recipe, my ganache is too thin. It didn't call for enough cream! Can I get it back to room temperature and add more cream?

[@ohyum]

Did you chill it? It will thicken in the fridge. If it's too thin you will want to add chocolate not cream. Gently melt the ganache over a pot with gently simmering water and add more chocolate. cool to room temp and then chill.

[@84mvalles]

Sugar free would be awesome 🌟

[@aldanabelentorrezluna8670]

Is delicious 👏👏👏

[@bhupinder2613]

What's the shelf life.

[@kavitawagh3517]

Madam would like to know the shell life of this turffle

[@rdu239]

If you plan on selling it, how can you prevent the truffles from softening and melting?

[@soukainazoubir5906]

raymund usi by dipping them in tempered chocolate and covering them with cacao powder, nuts...

[@JoannaMaeChannel]

Hi same video here and i follow your channel

[@BD-we1mo]

Hi Anna, Followed the recipe... Found the texture was really runny so I added a little more chocolate, however, I combined semi sweet with milk chocolate instead of bittersweet.. I've left the mixture uncovered in fridge to harden but it's still very soft and top is a little sticky to touch..HELP! I need these for an event Thx

[@ohyum]

Are you using a couverture chocolate? One that is ideal for baking? Not the ones that come in the chip form that you use for cookies.

[@rs-pu4du]

Any other thing that can be mixed with the chocolate ganache apart from brandy and orange liquor. Where can I get orange liquor

[@marym8028]

I have used food grade peppermint oil, very sparingly....one drop or two goes a long way.

[@lindaromano3734]

Hi Anna...love your videos & have followed you on Bake since the beginning. Have tried these as 1:1 ratio but find it too soft to roll into balls & hold their shape. The 2:1 ratio in favour of chocolate turns out a bit too hard & bit too chocolately intense. Is this unusual? Wondering if I'm doing anything wrong. Has anyone else found this? Thanks so much.

[@ohyum]

What kind of Chocolate are you using? Make sure it is couverture chocolate meant for baking. This recipe should work for you. We did not find any issues with rolling them.

[@lindaromano3734]

Yes...I'm using couverture chocolate. I've tried 2:1..too hard & 1:1 too soft ratios. I managed by adding a bit more chocolate to the 1:1 ratio. This worked better..thx

[@mycookingrecipe9184]

can i keep it in room tamparature

[@maz7222]

I tied to make these once with chocolate chips... and they failed! I tried again with chocolate chips AND THEY WORKED!!! Why did this happen?

[@esmeralda4439]

did someone know, where i can chill my chocolate? in freezer or just a refrigerator? please

[@synchronicity67]

esmeralda pamela hey hi, did u get d answer?? I just asked d same n saw yr comment so wondering if got an answer or from yr own experience?,😉 Have kept it currently on d first shelf, not in d freezer

[@esmeralda4439]

synchronicity676 i still dont know the answer, did you find out?

[@synchronicity67]

esmeralda pamela lol... I kept it down on shelves as figured freezer is too cold . .. they have turned out ok... bit soft so my cream was more or since low fat, didn't help with forming 😉 How about u? made some?

[@esmeralda4439]

synchronicity676 yupps i made some right now, and maybe i will put the chocolate in refrigerator for 2 hour haha

[@synchronicity67]

esmeralda pamela they suggest more, but u cld check n see if set. Which kind hav u made?😁 I put mint chocolate liquor, used 55% dark 🍫+bit coffee powder too. rolled in cocoa powder. they taste great😋

[@fritula6200]

l think the mixture is too thin, if it sits at room temp. when serving guests, when the truffles defrost.

[@pla5730]

They look that way

[@salinik6836]

👍👍👍👍

[@johnroekoek12345]

Unfortunately you didn't use tempered chocolate - which snaps if you bite it - to cover the ganache.

[@nabisathali2328]

Shelf life of the chocolate for sale pls rly?

[@charlesedwards7156]

Fun fact: I'm actually eating chocolate truffle

[@DNOJ]

They melt so fast !!!! Wtf !!!!

[@lovelychaos4488]

When she rolls them it looks like blood 👁👁

[@johnkelly8135]

Too much cream. Way too much, I’d use 1 cup to 1/2 cops cream....to the 1lb of chocolate. The liqueur was a good idea.

[@NewfieLawNerd]

Should roll with your fingers not your palms. Your fingers are less warm than the palms of your hands

[@JohnDoe-ht5vq]

Why are your hands bleeding??!
