Flavoured Truffles are so easy to make, are absolutely delicious, and make lovely gifts for the birthdays or the festive season!
We use S&C Melt and Pour choccy paired with Flavour shots for this super simple no bake recipe. For the truffles pictured, I have paired white chocolate with Pistachio Flavour shot, then enrobed with dark chocolate and sprinkled with chopped pistachios. Gingerbread Flavour shot paired with Milk chocolate and Drizzled with white chocolate. Christmas Punch Flavour Shot paired with dark chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder with Christmas punch flavour shot added.

Ingredients
You will need to make your fillings using our Ganache for fillings recipe from this chart…
Plus extra chocolate/ cocoa powder for covering your flavoured truffles.
Method
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat the cream until it boils. This usually takes roughly 2mins but will vary depending on the amount of cream and the power of the microwave.
- Add in the chocolate making sure it is all submerged in the cream.
- Leave to sit for a few minutes before stirring to combine. there should not be any lumps of chocolate remaining.
- Add 12-15g of flavour shot per 500g of ganache, and stir in. Make sure you pass the flavour shot through a fine sieve.
- Cover the surface of the ganache with clingfilm and allow to set completely. You can set in the fridge or in a cool place over night.
- Once your ganache is set, scoop and roll into small balls. Place onto a lined baking sheet and allow to firm up again in a cool place before dipping in chocolate.
- If rolling in cocoa powder, you can do this straight away!
Coating Flavoured Truffles
If you are coating your truffles in chocolate, you will want your ganache balls to be room temperature so that the chocolate coating doesn’t crack.
Melt enough chocolate to dip your truffles and drop the ganache balls in one at a time. Make sure the balls are well coated, then use a fork to remove to balls and tap off excess chocolate. Allow to set on a lined baking sheet. If you plan to decorate with nuts/ sprinkles, do this before the chocolate coating has set.
Enjoy your Flavoured truffles!
