Rich and chocolately with a bit of a kick too, these chilli chocolate truffles are the best way to enjoy homemade chocolate truffles if you like a bit of heat! Make them for yourself, your family or as a homemade gift for friends.
Put the creme fraiche and sugar in a saucepan and heat over a low heat until the sugar has melted. Turn the heat off.
Break the chocolate up and stir into the cream and sugar mixture.
Deseed the chilli and dice finely. Add to the ganache and stir in.
Pour into a plastic container and put in the fridge to harden.
After a couple of hours (or the next day) take the mixture out of the fridge. Use a teaspoon to take out truffle sized pieces of the ganache. Roll it between your palms to make balls then roll in the cocoa powder.
Store in the fridge.
