Christmas Truffles and Fudge, great as a home made Christmas gift...or for feasting on yourself!

Ingreadient :
    • 300g dark chocolate
    • 300ml double cream
    • Flaked almonds, chopped
    • Cocoa powder
    • Desiccated coconut
    • 397g condensed milk
    • 450g light soft brown sugar
    • 125g butter
    • 125ml milk
    • 1 tsp sea salt
Direction :
    1. Heat the cream in a pan until warm. Then break the chocolate into a bowl, and melt over a bain-marie.
    2. Pour the warm cream over and mix together for 1 minute until it looks glossy. Then, pour into a deep, small tray and leave to set at room temperature.
    3. Using a teaspoon, or melon baller, scoop out the mix into round. Then coat in either almonds or coconut or cocoa powder.
    4. Note: the ganache can be flavoured with whiskey, brandy, or zest of 1 orange.
    5. Line a 20cm tin with cling film.
    6. Add all the ingredients into a pan and whisk them together.
    7. Then, heat to a rolling boil at 112c – 115c for 10 mins, making sure you are whisking all the time.
    8. Take off the heat, and let it cool for 2 minutes. Then, whisk vigorously for a minute and pour the mix into a lined tin.
    9. Cool for 3 hours. Turn out onto a board, and sprinkle in salt. Finally, cover in greaseproof roll over with a rolling pin, and cut the fudge into squares
