TIP:
Keep an ice pack next to you and in between rolling the ganache into balls hold the ice pack in your hands to keep your hands cold - then the chocolate won't melt while rolling the balls!
Prepare Ganache:
| 1. | Put CANDY MELTS Dark chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Do not melt the chocolate. Just put the discs in. |
| 2. | Bring cream slowly to a light boil in a heavy saucepan. |
| 3. | Pour boiling cream over chocolate and keep stirring until all the chocolate has melted. |
| 4. | Add pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. |
| 5. | Microwave whipping cream (in a bowl) on high for 1 minute or until boiling and then pour cream over chocolate. |
| 6. | Let stand for 5-10 minutes then you can thicken the mixture by whisking it until smooth. Stir in chopped gingersnaps. Cover; refrigerate 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until firm but soft enough to form into balls. |
7. | Stir in chopped gingersnaps. |
8. | Cover the bowl of ganache and put it in the refrigerator (about 3 hours) or freezer (about 1 ½ hours) and chill until firm. You want the ganache to be just thick enough to easily form the truffle balls. |
Form Truffles: |
|
| 1. | Create 1" round balls by using a very small ice cream scooper or a melon baller if you have one - if not, just use your clean hands to grab some ganache and have fun rolling it into a ball - it's sort of like Play Dough. Place the balls on Heavy Weight Dipping Sheets and freeze until firm (about 45 minutes). |
| 2. | While the chocolate balls are in the freezer, melt the 8 oz. of Bada Bing Bada Boom Dipping & Enrobing Chocolate in double boiler. Follow the instructions that came with your Bada Bing Bada Boom chocolate, or click here for instructions. |
| 3. | After the chocolate balls are firm and the
Indulgence chocolate is tempered, use a stainless steel dipping
tool to dip each ball in the melted chocolate. Before the
dipped truffles set up, roll the wet truffle in the finely
crushed gingersnap cookies. |
4. | Place onto heavy weight dipping sheet to set up in refrigerator. Keep chilled until ready to serve. |
