How to Make Dark Chocolate And Rum Truffles

Finely chop 200g of dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher).
Place the chopped chocolate and 100ml of heavy cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water).
Stir gently with a metal spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of dark rum (adjust to your taste).
Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls (at least 2-3 hours).
Line baking trays with baking paper.
Once firm, roll the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place the truffles on the prepared trays.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Melt 150g of dark chocolate melts in a heatproof bowl over a simmering water bath (double boiler method), stirring until smooth.
Divide the truffles into two batches.
Remove one batch from the refrigerator.
Use a fork to dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap the fork against the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Place the dipped truffles back onto the prepared tray.
Repeat with the remaining truffles and melted dark chocolate.
Let the truffles sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to set.
Melt 50g of white chocolate melts in a heatproof bowl over a simmering water bath, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the set truffles using a fork.
Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the white chocolate to set.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve chilled.
