Ingredients:

2 bars of 85% choc (or higher)
3/4 tub of double cream (from a 300ml tub)
a good glug of brandy
1 tsp Orange extract (or juice from an orange)
cacao nibs (optional)

Melt chocolate in a ban marie with cream, brandy & orange extract. Once melted, stir in some cacoa nibs (adds a nice crunch). Pour into a tupperware container & refrigerate. Once set, use a teaspoon to scoop out & rolled into balls with your hands. Coat truffles in either raw cacao powder, desiccated coconut or crushed nuts. Allow to re-set in fridge.
 
came on here to look for some dessert recipes as I really miss them. Then I see this thank you for this.

Any idea what kind of carb content per truffle Mark?
 
I made 12 large truffles out of this which works out at 3.7g carb each.
 
@Mark Parrott - have you discovered "copy me that" yet? It allows us to save recipes from any website, in one place, and can synch across web browser, iOs and Android Apps.

What seems pretty unique (to my knowledge anyway) is once uploaded, you can edit the recipe, in terms of ingredients, method and any comments you might care to add (like a bit sweet/not sweet enough/used different oven temperature or time).

I'm currently converting some of my favoured recipes to do in my Instant Pot (magical piece of kit!), so something that might be slow cooker for x time, could require IP of y time. I can also record both options if I want the ongoing choice. 's a brilliant app, and your recipe on this thread uploaded fine. No idea how it would cope with a recipe embedded further into a thread, but whatever, it saves multiple accounts over multiple websites (BBC, Ditch the carbs, Yummly and so on). I can happily upload it from my laptop, but use my iPad as a reference in the kitchen.

I'm sure I'll find the odd wrinkle as I use it more, but thought I'd share.
