Decadent & Herbal: Rosemary Chocolate Truffles Recipe

Today’s Unique Recipe: Rosemary-infused Chocolate Truffles

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share a special recipe with you today that combines the earthy taste of rosemary with the rich decadence of chocolate. This unique flavor pairing is perfect for cozy evenings by the fireplace or as a thoughtful gift for a friend. Let’s dive into making these delicious rosemary-infused chocolate truffles!

Ingredients:

• 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 120ml heavy cream
• 2-3 fresh rosemary sprigs
• for dusting

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• mixing bowl
• fine mesh strainer
• whisk

To start, break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof mixing bowl. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it’s just about to simmer. Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the cream and let them infuse for 10 minutes, giving a subtle herbal flavor to the mixture.

Once infused, strain the cream over the chocolate in the mixing bowl, discarding the rosemary sprigs. Let the hot cream sit on the chocolate for a minute before gently whisking them together until smooth and shiny. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before covering it and placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

After the chocolate mixture has chilled and solidified, use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions and roll them into small truffle-sized balls. Dust your hands with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder for a beautiful finish.

These rosemary-infused chocolate truffles are perfectly bittersweet with a hint of aromatic herb that cuts through the richness of the chocolate. They make a delightful after-dinner treat or a thoughtful homemade gift for friends and family. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more.
