Gingerbread truffles

Ingredients

• 80ml double cream
• 1.5 tsp gingerbread spice mix
• 170g milk chocolate
• 30g gingerbread cookies

Gingerbread spice mix:

• 3 tbsp ground ginger
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground allspice

Method

1. Prepare gingerbread spice mix. Mix all the spices together and transfer into a glass jar or an airtight container. You’ll need this spice mix for a couple of more recipes this month.
2. In a small saucepan, heat cream with spices over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
3. Add chocolate and let it melt for about 30 seconds, then start stirring with a spatula. Mix until smooth and silky. If there are still some chocolate pieces left, gently melt it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until everything is melted. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with cling film and refrigerate for about 6 hours until set.
4. Crush gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs. Scoop truffle mixture (about 1-1.5 tsp per truffle) and roll into balls. Then roll each truffle in crushed cookies. Keep refrigerated.
