Need a Delicious Truffle Recipe for Christmas Dinner?

[Chef Kearns]

I cannot find my SB F/W 05. This recipe was in there. If you have it can you post it for me? I want to have a truffle bar for Christmas dinner. Thanks!

I found this in Consultants Corner on their website.

The Pampered Chef ®
Velvety Chocolate Truffles
Recipe


2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened baking chocolate
1 package (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1/4 teaspoon Pantry Double Strength Vanilla
Assorted coatings such as unsweetened cocoa powder, toasted chopped almonds, grated chocolate or toasted coconut



Coarsely chop chocolate squares using Food Chopper. Place chopped chocolate, chocolate morsels and half of the whipped topping in Large Micro-Cooker®; microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 11/2-2 minutes or until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after each 20-second interval. Pour chocolate into Classic Batter Bowl using Classic Scraper; cool slightly. Fold in remaining whipped topping and vanilla.


Spread truffle mixture onto Cutting Board; refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm enough to scoop. (Do not allow chocolate to harden too long or the coatings will not adhere well to the truffles.)


Using Small Scoop, scoop truffle mixture onto small plates containing assorted coatings. For easier scooping, dip scoop into hot water after every few truffles and tap on paper towels to remove excess water. Wearing plastic gloves or using Bamboo Tongs, roll truffles in coating. Place coated truffles onto Simple Additions® Medium Square and serve.

Cook's Tip: To toast almonds, place almonds in Small (8-in.) Saute Pan. Heat over medium heat 3-5 minutes or until almonds begin to brown, stirring frequently. Remove from pan; cool completely.

To toast coconut, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut onto Small Bar Pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown; remove from oven and cool completely.

If desired, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla can be substituted for the Double Strength Vanilla.

For very finely grated chocolate, use the Microplane® Adjustable Grater. For more coarsely grated chocolate, use the Deluxe Cheese Grater.

Thanks Sheila! When I checked "Recipe Search" it wouldn't let me select the recipe. Thank you for posting it! The recipe for truffles in the "Cooking for 2 or More" cookbook doesn't sound that good. The truffles won't be sweet. This recipe sounds much yummier!
