How to make Chocolate Truffles with Candy Cane Topping
Prepare Chocolate Mixture
Add chopped Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate to a large heat-safe bowl and set aside.
Heat Cream and Spices
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Heavy Cream, Pure Vanilla Extract, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Nutmeg, and Ground Cloves. Heat until just beginning to simmer, then remove from heat.
Combine and Melt
Pour the heated cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted.
Set Chocolate
Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 2 hours, until set.
Form Truffles
Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the truffles into balls, then roll between your hands. If truffles start to melt, transfer to the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
Roll in Toppings
Roll truffles in crushed candy canes or your favorite toppings. Store in the refrigerator.
