How to Make Low Fat Chocolate Truffles

  1. Melt 200g of dark chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of Tia Maria (or your preferred liqueur/liquid), gently stirring with a spatula until the mixture thickens. This happens quickly!
  3. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of honey at a time, mixing slowly until the chocolate mixture is glossy and smooth.
  4. Refrigerate the bowl for 30 minutes, or until the truffle mixture is nearly solid.
  5. Sift 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder onto a clean surface.
  6. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the truffle mixture, roll it into a marble-sized ball, and then roll it in the cocoa powder until completely coated.
  7. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  8. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
