How to make creamy chocolate chestnut truffles

For these unique truffles you will need: QUALITY DARK CHOCOLATE, HEAVY OR WHIPPING CREAM, AMARETTO and some chocolate shavings for coating them. Use quality dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids (55-65% cocoa).

We love to use Nestle chocolate bars but feel free to use any other kind of quality dark chocolate (Baker's chocolate, Ghirardelli, Guittard, Lindt, Valrhona) you have on hand.



4 easy steps for making these creamy truffles:

  1. Beat chestnut purée with electric mixer for 1 minute, until creamy.

  2. Chop finely the chocolate then pour hot whipping cream over it and leave for a few minutes. Stir until you get a smooth and even texture. 

  3. Add chestnut purée and Amaretto and stir until combined. The mixture need to rest in the fridge for about 1 hour. 

  4. Scoop the mixture with a teaspoon, roll into balls and coat into grated chocolate. And that's it! Your creamy chocolate chestnut truffles are ready for serving.

EXTRA TIP! When rolling the truffles they may become sticky from the heat of your hands. If the mixture become too soft, place it in the fridge for 5 minutes then continue making the truffles.



Storing creamy chocolate chestnut truffles

For the best taste and texture, serve the truffles at room temperature. Keep the truffles covered in the fridge for 3-4 days. If stored in an airtight container in the fridge, these chocolate chestnut truffles can last for up to 2 weeks.
