Ingredients
  

  • 12.5 oz good-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp brandy, or to taste
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

For dipping and serving:

  • 13 oz good-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
  • Ground nutmeg, to dust

Instructions
 

  • Place a saucepan with a good couple of inches of water onto the stove top and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Turn down to low until it’s gently simmering.
  • Place a bowl over top of the saucepan – one which sits high enough so that the water below doesn’t touch it. Add the chocolate, cream, brandy and nutmeg into the bowl and stir with a metal spoon until chocolate is nearly melted. Take off the heat and stir, letting the residual heat melt the remaining chocolate.
  • Let the chocolate mix cool a little before placing the bowl in the fridge for 2 hours or until firm enough to roll into balls. If it hardens too much, simply take it out of the fridge and let it soften a little at room temperature.
  • Line a tray with non-stick baking paper.Use a teaspoon or mini melon baller to scoop out chocolate mixture and use your hands to roll into a ball. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining chocolate mixture, then place in the fridge for about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Place second measure of chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with simmering water (ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bowl) and stir with a metal spoon until chocolate is nearly melted. Take off the heat and stir, letting the residual heat melt the remaining chocolate.
  • Line a tray with non-stick baking paper. Use 2 forks to dip a truffle into the melted chocolate to coat (don’t let it sit in there too long or it will start melting). Remove truffle, tapping the fork handle gently on the edge of the bowl to shake off any excess chocolate. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining truffles and melted chocolate. Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to set.
  • Dust truffles with a little nutmeg and serve.
