Kids in the kitchen…. White chocolate truffle cake for Christmas
Yep… this is a great project the kids can help with in the kitchen ready for Christmas! I can almost hear their sqeals of delight and see the look of satisfaction on their faces! Doesnt this look FANTASTIC!!
so… after you have gone shopping online at La Toriana for all your baby clothing, designer kids outfits and baby gifts for Christmas, print out this recipe and start maing your own wonderful truffle cake for when guests arrive.
They will be so impressed. Its something the kids and you can do together… make sure you take a photo too…. and soon you will well known in your circle of family and friends for wonderful recipes!!
I cannot take the credit for making this, though my 7 yr old and I made one and was so easy! here is the place to get gorgeous recipes like this from.
1 large sheet of firm white cardboard
375g packet white chocolate Melts, melted
150-170 white chocolate Lindt Lindor balls, paper removed
flowers to decorate (or any decoration you choose)
METHOD
diameter on the cardboard and cut a large wedge out of the cardboard slightly less than 1/3 of the size of the circle. Make a cone from the cardboard. (The cone should be about 35cm high.)
Staple ends together and tape over the staples. The wider the wedge of cardboard the wider the finished cone will be. Cut a smaller wedge for a thinner cone.
Brush the cone all over with some of the melted chocolate. Secure to a board or serving plate with a little more chocolate. Dip each ball in a little of the chocolate and place around the base of the cardboard, ensuring a little of the chocolate is between each ball so they will stick together when dry.
Continue ‘glueing’ the balls to the cone in layers until you reach the top. There will be some gaps in each layer so you will need to trim the sides of some balls to fit.
Decorate with flowers. If using fresh flowers, decorate close to serving.
