📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, combine the milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, champagne, heavy cream and brandy. Stir until melted.
(12 oz/340 g) milk chocolate (35-50% cocoa solids)2 cupsheavy cream2 tablespoons( ½ oz/14 g) butter1 tablespoon(6 oz/170 g) bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa solids)1 cupbrandy2 tablespoons
2
Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and then pour into a heat-proof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely firm, for at least ⏱️ 5 hours or overnight.
3
Scoop and Shape the Truffles
4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a melon baller, scoop the truffles into 1 tablespoon sized balls and place them on the prepared try.
5
Working quickly, roll each ball between your palms to make an evenly shaped ball and compress any gaps from the scooping. If the chocolate starts to get too soft to handle (or your hands too hot) place the tray in the fridge for a few minutes before continuing.
6
Chill the shaped truffles for ⏱️ 1 hour.
7
Melt the bittersweet chocolate over a double boiler until almost melted but a few lumps remain. Set aside to cool down before dipping.
8
Using a fork to help lift the truffles, dip them one at a time into the melted chocolate and return to the tray to set. (If the melted chocolate starts to stiffen, place it briefly over the hot water you used for melting.)
9
Once all of the truffles have been dipped, return them to the refrigerator to completely set, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
10
Apply the Gold Leaf
11
Lightly dampen with water a clean, small paintbrush (that has never been used) and lightly brush the truffles where you want to apply the gold leaf.
12
Store in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks until ready to serve.
