Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients:
- dark chocolate - 125 g;
- milk chocolate - 125 g;
- fat sour cream - 100 ml;
- butter - 50 g;
- cocoa - 3 tbsp. l .;
- strong coffee - 4 tbsp. l .;
- powdered sugar - 4 tbsp. l
Cooking
Finely chop the milk and dark chocolate and place in a cup. Melt it in a water bath, then cool slightly and stir in sour cream. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
Heat the butter to room temperature and whisk it with a tablespoon of coffee. Add the chocolate mixture and mix well. Cover the mass with foil and refrigerate for about an hour. Then, with a small spoon, pinching a small piece from the mass, form truffles.
Arrange cocoa, coffee and icing sugar in three plates. Roll truffles in all plates in turn and refrigerate. Homemade sweets are ready!
Caramel
Ingredients:
- sugar - 3 cups;
- glass of water;
- vinegar - 2 tbsp. l
Cooking
Cook sugar until it thickens (when, when scraping from a spoon, the frozen syrup does not seem to “click”, lagging behind). When cooking, syrup should not be disturbed!
Next, pour everything onto a skillet greased with sunflower oil and cool slightly.
When you can tolerate the temperature of the syrup with your hands, begin to stretch the sugar mass. The longer and stronger you do it, the more you get homemade sweets.
Pull the flagella out of the caramels, chop them and color them with beetroot juice.
Raffaello
Ingredients:
- butter - 200 grams;
- 1 can of condensed milk;
- vanilla sugar or cognac (slightly, to taste);
- coconut flakes - 200 grams;
- almonds - a glass.
Cooking
To cook "Raffaello", mash with a fork butter, previously heated to room temperature. Mix it with condensed milk, add cognac (vanillin) and 100 g of coconut flakes. Whip all this until you get a homogeneous cream.
Take it to the refrigerator for a day. After the specified time, remove the thickened cream and begin to form sweets.
Take a cream with a teaspoon and roll balls out of it, inside each of which place one almond nut.
Roll the finished sweets in the remaining half of the coconut flakes and put them on a dish or in a beautiful box. To prevent them from melting, keep them in the refrigerator.
These home-made Raffaello candies are not too similar to the store ones. They are more tender. Therefore, when removing them from the refrigerator, do not keep them in the hot room for too long - they will begin to thaw.
