Ingredients

  • 400 g Dark chocolate
  • 200 ml Double cream
  • 50 ml Gin
  • 50 ml Tonic water
  • 1 Lime juice and zest
  • 300 g White chocolate to coat

Instructions

  • Gently melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water (don't allow the bowl to touch the water).
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the double cream, gin, tonic, lime juice and lime zest. Mix until totally combined and smooth.
  • Pop into the fridge, uncovered, for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from the fridge and with clean hands, form into small, walnut sized balls. Place them onto baking paper and pop back into the fridge for 2 hours or freezer for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Remove the truffles from the fridge or freezer and dip to coat in the white chocolate, tapping off any excess.
  • Allow the chocolate to set totally before serving. Serve the truffles at room temperature.

Notes

  • If you would like a smoother, neater looking truffle, double the amount of white chocolate and repeat by coating again after the first dip has set.
