📝 Ingredients:

Ganache Filling:

• 200g Callebaut dark chocolate callets (70%)
• 100ml heavy cream
• 2–3 tbsp dry red wine (Cabernet, Shiraz, or Port)
• Optional: 1 tbsp butter for extra creaminess
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional: ½ tsp orange zest or 1 tsp espresso powder for depth

• Dutch-processed cocoa powder
• Crushed pistachios or hazelnuts
• Freeze-dried raspberry powder

🍽️ Instructions:

1. Heat the Cream:
   Warm the cream in a saucepan over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Don’t boil.
2. Pour Over Callets:
   Place chocolate callets in a bowl. Pour hot cream over them and let sit for 1–2 minutes.
3. Stir Until Smooth:
   Stir gently until callets are fully melted and glossy. Add wine, sea salt, and any optional flavor boosters (e.g. zest or espresso powder).
4. Chill the Mixture:
   Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
5. Shape the Truffles:
   Use a small scoop or teaspoon to portion, then roll into balls by hand (wear gloves to avoid melting).
6. Coat & Store:
   Roll in your choice of cocoa powder, nuts, or dip in melted chocolate. Store in the fridge up to 7 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
