Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
150 ml double cream
400 g bitter chocolate -- broken small pieces
4 tbsp unsalted butter -- softened
best quality unsweetened cocoa powder

Makes 450g/1lb

1. In a saucepan, boil the double cream until reduced to 2 tbsp. Remove
from heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Add the butter and stir
gently, then pour on to a large flat plate. Put in the fridge for 45
minutes until chilled and set.

2. With a teaspoon, scrape across the chocolate so that it forms a rough
truffle shape in large curls, not balls! Roll them in dry cocoa powder.
Chill in fridge for at least half and hour before serving.
