\nRecipe: Chocolate Mint Trufflettes<\/strong><\/p>\n

These small truffles are especially nice to box and give to friends over the holiday season. They keep well in the refrigerator and can also be frozen.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n

Makes 20 small truffles<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
\n4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
\n3 tablespoons heavy cream
\n1 large egg yolk
\n2 teaspoons finely minced fresh mint
\n2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder<\/p>\n

Heat both chocolates and the milk together in a double boiler over hot water or in a microwave oven until the chocolate has melted. Stir to combine.<\/p>\n

Add the egg yolk and mint to the chocolate mixture and mix well. It will thicken. Spoon the chocolate on a paper-lined cookie sheet. You should have about 20 cookies. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, then press each piece into a roundish ball; the balls should be uneven so they look more like real truffles. Put the balls on a plate, sprinkle the cocoa over them, and shake the plate so the trufflettes roll around in the cocoa and become coated.<\/p>\n

Transfer the trufflettes to a clean plate and refrigerate until serving time.<\/p>\n
