It wouldn’t be Christmas at our place without chocolate!
This year we’ve made Christmas trees using a mix of Callebaut 811 (54% dark) and 823 (milk), both Fairtrade. The trees were a little fiddly to make and definitely a two-person assembly job. The moulds cost a tiny $2 from Candyland Crafts…
My chocolate truffles were dipped in a dark 74% blend. They’re looking a little rustic this year…
Finally, we’ve made plum pudding truffles by blitzing fruit cake in the food processor, then mixing it with a slosh of rum and melted dark chocolate. The mixture was shaped into balls before dipping in tempered chocolate…
Only a few more sleeps! I hope you’re all having a fun festive season!
