Chocolate Truffles (rawish): Blend or food process up two handfuls of mixed nuts and 2 handfuls of raisins with a heaped teaspoon of cocoa. Roll the mix into little balls. We then put them in the freezer for ten minutes while we melted the white and dark chocolate in Bain Maries. This meant the chocolate set really quickly when spooned onto the cold puddings rather than running everywhere.
So: spoon the melted chocolate over the top and decorate with pumpkin seeds and chopped dried cranberry. Yum!
The truffles are now nestled happily in the Christmas Dish 🙂
Recipe for today: mini pizza bites
THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR (a novel by Lucy, written under her pen name), has six whole chapters of medieval Christmas, making it the perfect festive gift! Also: romance, witches, and a Scottish castle…
I’ll definitely be making these! Thank you for visiting my blog, Lucy. I was brought up in Glasgow, but now live in County Durham. My brother lived in the Shetlands when he married a Shetlander and, of course, I’ve visited Aberdeen several times. It’s a beautiful city.
You’re welcome Lesley 🙂 I hope you enjoy the truffles!
