GINGER TRUFFLES
Couldn't find a suitable ginger chocolate/truffle for a friend who isn't allowed too much dairy. These were perfect, easy and very gingery :) I guess you could add some nuts to this mix, or even roll them in nuts or coconut. Have fun with it.

Steps:
- Pulverize the biscuits in your food processor until fine crumbs.
- Add the ginger and process 30 seconds, re-arrange and process another 30 seconds.
- Add the chocolate, broken into small pieces, and process until it all comes together in a tacky ball.
- Spread on a tray and refrigerate until you can easily roll it into small balls.
- Put the balls on baking paper, and return to fridge overnight.
- Melt the extra chocolate and dip each ginger ball to coat, refrigerate until hardened.
- NOTE ADDED: I just made these using ginger seconds from the ginger factory, and because these bit were smaller, there was more sugar in the mix, and I found I had to add 100g chocolate to make it come together. I also had to take the mix out and re-mix in 2 lots.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the truffles will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the ganache: Overmixing will make the ganache grainy. Mix just until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Chill the ganache thoroughly: This will make it easier to form the truffles. Chill the ganache for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Use a variety of coatings: You can coat the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even edible glitter. Get creative and have fun!
- Store the truffles properly: Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Orange-ginger truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy ganache, zesty orange flavor, and hint of ginger, these truffles are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give orange-ginger truffles a try.
