Instructions

  • Briefly boil the heavy cream, butter, and glucose syrup and then remove from the heat.
  • Chop up the milk chocolate and melt in the cream.
  • Flavor with Poire Williams.
  • Let cool.
  • (It should not be warmer than 82–86 °F (28–30 °C), otherwise the truffle shells will melt!)
  • Put the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and use it to fill the truffle shells.
  • Chill, preferably overnight.
  • Melt the milk chocolate and let cool.
  • Fill a cone made with parchment paper and pipe the chocolate in to cover the hole in the truffle shell.
  • Chill for another hour.
  • Dip the pralines in the rest of the milk chocolate with the help of a fork and let them drip completely.
  • Roll in confectioner’s sugar and shake off the excess.
