Peanut Butter
Truffles
Yield: 60 truffles
2 cups whipping cream
2 pounds white chocolate, melted
2 cups peanut butter
1 pound dark bittersweet chocolate
Crushed peanuts, for decoration
Scald cream in a small saucepan. Remove
from heat and chill. Combine white
chocolate and peanut butter together in
a mixing bowl and blend together. Add
chilled whipping cream and continue
blending at high speed until a smooth
consistency is achieved. Pour mixture
into a suitable container and place in
the refrigerator for 24 hours, to allow
mixture to set.
Using a melon baller, or a number 70
scoop, form the mixture into balls.
Place balls on a sheet pan and into the
refrigerator to firm up. Melt the dark
chocolate over a double boiler. Gently
dip each ball in the melted chocolate so
that it's fully coated. Decorate with
crushed peanuts. Keep truffles in the
refrigerator until required.
