  • 100g/4oz chopped mixed nuts

  • Heat the cream in a separate saucepan until almost boiling (but do not allow the cream to reach boiling point). Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the warm cream over the melted chocolate and mix together until smooth and well combined. Stir in a pinch of salt.
  • Line a roasting tray with greaseproof paper and pour in the melted chocolate. Set aside to cool, then chill in the fridge until set.
  • Once the chocolate mixture has cooled and set, mix the chopped nuts together and sprinkle onto a baking tray.
  • Scoop out small portions of the chilled chocolate mixture with a teaspoon, then roll them into balls with your hands. Roll each ball in the chopped nuts until completely coated. Place the truffles onto a baking tray or plate and chill until ready to serve. The truffles will keep for 1-2 weeks.
