Shiraz Dark Chocolate Truffles

600g chopped quality dark chocolate, preferably 70%
220mL cream
30g unsalted butter
¼ cup of your favourite Shiraz
1 cup quality dark chocolate cocoa powder
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt or quality sea salt flakes.
WHAT TO DO:
Place chocolate in a heat proof bowl.
Place cream and butter in a small saucepan and bring to boil.
Pour cream over the chopped chocolate.
Stir until you have smooth shiny molten chocolate mixture.
Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes
Whisk in the Shiraz.
Refrigerate until just firm 2-3 hours.
Place the cocoa powder in a wide bowl.
Roll tsps. of the truffle mixture into balls.
Roll the truffles in the cocoa powder and done!
(Makes approx. 50 truffles. Store is an airtight container in a cool place. Indulge within 4 weeks)
I kind of laugh when I have to mention storage and 4 weeks, who are we kidding? Most likely there will be no need to store and it will be indulged in minutes!
