Earl Grey Tea-Infused Chocolate Truffles

Written By Mahya Roudneshin - March 25 2024

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Chill Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Yield: Approximately 20 truffles

Ingredients:

1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea leaves
8 ounces (225g) high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Optional for decoration: white chocolate and food coloring

Instructions:

Infuse the Cream: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add the Earl Grey tea leaves, and allow them to steep for 5 minutes. Strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the tea leaves, pressing on them to extract maximum flavor. Discard the leaves.
Make Ganache: Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Reheat the infused cream until it simmers again, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate, then add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. If any chocolate pieces remain unmelted, you can gently heat the mixture over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth.
Chill: Cover the ganache with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to shape.
Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out portions of the ganache. Roll between your palms quickly to form balls. If the mixture becomes too soft, return it to the refrigerator to firm up.
Decorate: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder for a classic finish. For an Easter touch, melt white chocolate, divide it into small batches, and tint each with food coloring. Drizzle or dip the truffles to add festive colors. Allow to set before serving.
Serving Suggestion: Serve these luxurious Earl Grey-infused chocolate truffles with a selection of teas. The complex flavors of the truffles will beautifully complement the tea, creating a memorable dessert experience for your Easter gathering.

Going Vegan for Easter ? it can be difficult if you love your tea with milk , what to do ? find an alternative to milk or find a tea that simply tastes as good without milk , like Mrs Doyle's Irish tea !

We have had lots of questions from customers all over the world on vegan tea and lots of remarks from customers who tell us that because Mrs Doyle's tea is so smooth and rich, it simply doesn't need milk, and well it's true , and of course you don’t have to stick to black tea either as there's lots of great herbal teas .

Also to day there is a a lot of dairy-free milk alternatives out there , easily available , in health food shops and pretty much all supermarkets, too. If you do really need to have a really creamy tea here's a list of milks that go really well with black teas: almond milk, hazelnut milk, coconut milk, oat milk, rice milk, hemp milk and, of course, soya milk. They all have many health benefits but you have to try them to see what's perfect for your taste and it's definitely worth experimenting ,

So Go On try everything once ...well almost everything
