Fancy having a go yourself? Rococo Chocolates are sharing their Chocolate and Walnut Marzipan Truffles recipe – ideal for those wanting to make use of a jar of preserved fruits at the back of the cupboard. It makes an incredible 40 truffles that will be sure to keep you going for the coming weeks.

Ingredients:

– 200g blanched almonds
– 100g shelled walnuts
– 100g icing sugar
– 50g pitted cherries in brandy – stones removed and brandy squeezed out
– 500g good quality dark chocolate, tempered for dipping
– Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Method:

1. Blitz the almonds and walnuts in short pulses in a food processor until roughly ground. Add the sugar and blitz once more until finely ground.
2. Add the cherries and pulse to make a smooth, moist dough (add a teaspoon of brandy from the jar of cherries, if necessary).
3. Shape the marzipan into roughly 10g balls. Place them on a plate or tray and dip them into tempered chocolate and leave them to set for 1 hour, alternatively roll in the unsweetened cocoa powder.
4. It’s as simple as that! These are a delicious way to end a meal and are sure to impress your friends. You can substitute the alcohol for orange-blossom water or orange juice if you’d like.
