Pink Brandy and White Chocolate Truffles

I absolutely adore CHARBONNEL ET WALKER Pink Marc De Champagne Truffles so I decided to try and make something similar, here is my attempt.

Ingredients

(makes about 40)

250g white chocolate plus about 50g grated white chocolate

25ml double cream

75ml brandy

1/2 tsp red food colouring

Melt the white chocolate in a bain marie until liquid then turn the heat right down.

Quickly stir the cream into the white chocolate.

Then stir in the brandy little by little.

Finally stir in the food colouring

Once made place in the fridge for at least 12 hours to cool and set.

Once the truffle mix has set take a teaspoon full and roll it into a little ball 

Then roll the truffle ball in some grated white chocolate to finish.

Lavender and White Chocolate Truffles

I had a bit of leftover white chocolate and lavender ganache, from the lavender and white chocolate mini cupcakes (see recipe) that had set in the fridge over a period of about 48 hours so I decided to roll it into truffles. I simply took a teaspoon full of set ganache and rolled it into a little ball then rolled it in some grated white chocolate.
