Pink Truffles

Happy Eid sweet toothers! 

so this eid, i decided not to make any cookies. instead, i made some truffl

es. this is my first attempt and it came out pretty decent :D. thanks to ms. not-so-tiny-me's experienced hands, her touch produced wonders!

so here is the recipe (taken from foodnetwork.com)...

2 tbsp heavy cream

7 oz white chocolate, chopped

1/2 tsp strawberry flavoring

1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped

2 oz dark chocolate, chopped

• melt white chocolate with heavy cream using the double-boil method. when the chocolate is completely melted, add the strawberry flavoring and whisk in. chill until it is pliable.
• put the chopped hazelnut in the microwave for about 3 to 4 minutes (so that it gets a little bit baked). don't forget to move the nuts around every minute or two so that it won't get burnt. cool to room temperature.
• roll the chilled chocolate into bite size spheres. don't forget to wear gloves so your germs won't get stuck to the truffles! ;)
• melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it on some of the truffles. roll the remaining truffles in the chopped hazelnuts. 

and here's how those little treats look like....

the original recipe can be found here

i skipped the Bailey's since i'm serving it to my sister's house guests. and i substituted vanilla essence to strawberry flavoring coz i couldn't find any vanilla essence.
