Caipirinha truffles

  • 400g white chocolate, finely chopped

  • grated zest of 1 lime

  • ¼ heaping cup (70ml) cream*

  • 3 tablespoons cachaça

  • cocoa powder, enough to cover the truffles

  • Combine chocolate, zest and cream in a heatproof bowl; place it over a saucepan of gently simmering water.

  • Stir until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat, add the cachaça and mix vigorously until mixture is silky and smooth. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to form balls.

  • Scoop out rounded teaspoons of the mixture (while it’s still cold and firm) and form balls – you don’t want your truffles to be perfectly rounded. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder and place in small fluted paper cases or on a plate. Keep refrigerated.
