Shortbread Chocolate Truffles

Dessert

Serves 1

Prep Time 2 hours

This Valentine’s Day, say it with your whole heart (and a little shortbread).

There's nothing quite like a homemade gift, especially when it involves something sweet! This Valentine's day, treat someone special to a box of homemade shortbread chocolate truffles.

Made with our delicious all-butter shortbread, coated in smooth milk chocolate, and beautifully boxed up to impress.

Ingredients

200g Walker’s Shortbread Fingers, finely blitzed

250g dark chocolate

75ml double cream

50g white chocolate

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the blitzed shortbread. Melt 150g of dark chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water, then pour it into the bowl. Add the double cream and mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Spoon the mixture into heart-shaped moulds, pressing it down firmly. Place in the fridge for an hour until fully set.

Melt the remaining dark chocolate, then carefully remove the truffles from the moulds. Insert a cocktail stick into the base of each truffle, dip them into the melted chocolate, and allow them to set upright.

 

Once the chocolate has set, melt the white chocolate and use a spoon to drizzle it over the truffles, creating a delicate striped pattern.

 

Allow the chocolate to set once more, then enjoy the truffles as they are or wrap them in foil for a thoughtful gift!
