Ingredients

  • 4 oranges
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 36 ounces finely-chopped semi-sweet chocolate
  • cup cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate in a large bowl, set aside.
  • Using a stripper or grater, remove the rind of the oranges.
  • Put the rind in a saucepan with a cream thenheat the saucepan over medium and simmer until bubbles appear.
  • Remove from heat and set aside for about 30 minutes.
  • In a microwave oven, melt the chocolate then pour the cream using a strainer so the rinds will not be mixed in the chocolate, stir softly to mix evenly.
  • Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature, then once it’s cool put it inside a refrigerator to harden and thicken into a ganache.
  • After 2-3 hours when hard enough to shape, scoop out balls and place it into a prepared baking sheet then freeze the ganache for couple of hours.
  • Use the cocoa powder to dust your hands and roll the truffles in a circular motion into your hands.
  • Follow same procedure for the remaining truffles.
