Low Fat Chocolate Truffles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
6 tablespoons Tia Maria
2 tablespoons clear honey (ie. acacia)
cocoa powder (to dust)

Preparation

Gently melt the chocolate (either in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water, or nuke it in the microwave in short bursts)and set aside.
Gently pour in the liqueur and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will thicken really quickly.
Add the honey a tablespoon at a time, slowly mixing with the chocolate until the mixture gets really nice and glossy.
Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.
Sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto a clean chopping board / large bowl / work surface.
Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated.
Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Store in the fridge in a jar or Tupperware tub.
