Earl-Grey Truffles image

The classic chocolate bon bon is taken for a tea time spin in this recipe for earl-grey-infused truffles. The distinctive, citrusy bergamot flavor of the tea shines through in every creamy, fudgy bite. These treats will make a lovely parting gift for guests at a dinner party, and are a great accompaniment to a night cap or, yes, a cup of tea!

Time 1h55m

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup heavy cream
5 teaspoons loose-leaf Earl Grey tea, crushed
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped, plus 3 ounces, melted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dutch-process cocoa powder, for rolling

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, stir together cream and tea over medium heat. Bring just to a simmer, then let mixture continue to gently simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • Pass cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Bring to a boil, then pour over chocolate and let stand 3 minutes. Stir until smooth, then stir in butter and vanilla. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes or, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days.
  • Place cocoa in a bowl. Scoop mixture with a level teaspoon, then dust hands with cocoa and roll truffles into balls. Coat your hands with a bit of melted chocolate and roll truffles in your hands to lightly coat to create a "shell".
  • Drop truffles into bowl of cocoa; toss to coat. Refrigerate in an air-tight container until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 week. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

Not a fan of the Earl Grey flavor. Otherwise, the truffles were well-made.

Overall, I thought these truffles were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either. I probably wouldn't make them again.

The truffles were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit softer and creamier.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a darker chocolate.

Not bad at all! The Earl Grey flavor was a bit stronger than I expected, but in a good way. The truffles were rich and decadent, and the coating added a nice touch of texture.

These truffles were easy to make and absolutely delicious. The Earl Grey tea flavor really shines through. I loved the contrasting textures of the smooth chocolate ganache and the crunchy Earl Grey cookie crumb coating. Definitely a keeper!

These Earl Grey Truffles were a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors was絶妙, and the texture was perfect. I loved the subtle hint of bergamot from the Earl Grey tea. It really elevated the chocolate. I will definitely be making these again!
