Delicious tempting little truffles are so easy to prepare by mixing together some melted chocolate, ground almonds, cream, sugar, Hartley’s Apricot jam and rum then toss them in cocoa powder to complete.

Serves 10

What you need

  • 150g quality chocolate, preferably 70% or more cocoa solid content
  • 150g ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp double cream
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp Hartley’s Apricot jam
  • 1 tsp rum
  • cocoa powder for rolling the truffles
  • sweet papers

How to make it

  1. Break the chocolate into a heat proof bowl which should be big enough to sit and rest on the rim of the saucepan.
  2. Boil some water in a pan and then remove from the heat and sit the bowl on the rim of the pan and stir until the chocolate melts.
  3. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir in the ground almonds, cream, sugar, jam and rum. Mix to a firm paste.
  4. Work quickly, preferably with cool hands and roll the paste into small balls then toss in the cocoa powder and serve in sweet paper cases.

Hints and tips

  • For a non-alcoholic version of this recipe replace the rum with orange juice.
  • Plain, milk or white chocolate can be used in this recipe.
