Ingredients for four people: 250 g of chocolate + 2 tablespoons of water, 20 g of softened butter, 20 cl of cream, 20 g of icing sugar, 20 g of peanut butter, 50 g of cocoa powder.
In a bain-marie, melt the chocolate, broken into pieces, with water until smooth. Add the softened butter, then the peanut butter; continue with cream and icing sugar. Firm up in the fridge.
Put the cocoa powder in a dish. Take the truffle dough out and shape it into small balls. Roll them as you go in the cocoa. Chill before serving.
Jayne's tip:Don't forget to melt the chocolate over low heat, to prevent it from forming lumps. Add a spoonful or two of whiskey or any other flavoring to your liking. Truffles are best if eaten the same day. If it's not too hot, serve them at room temperature.
