Method
White Truffles
1) Place the double cream in a heat-proof bowl and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook until heated through. Using a wire whisk, slowly stir the white chocolate into the warm cream until completely melted.
2) Whisk in the liqueur and vanilla. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until pliable but firm enough to scoop.
3) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, gas mark 4. With 2 teaspoons or a 5cm ice cream scoop, make dollops of the chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4) Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until firm enough to roll into rough spheres. Place the chopped hazelnuts on a baking sheet and place them in the oven for 8 minutes.
5) Cool to room temperature. Melt the dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
6) Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over 10 of the truffles. Roll the remaining truffles in the chopped nuts. Chill until ready to serve.
