  • Place the finely chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Put the cream into a saucepan and heat until just boiling, then remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before whisking until smooth. Add the butter, amaretto, almond extract, and pinch of Maldon Salt and then whisk again until smooth.
  • Transfer to a shallow tin and allow to cool at room temp before adding to the fridge to firm up (2 hours).

Then roll the truffles in either desiccated coconut, finely chopped pistachios or cocoa powder before serving.
