Lakkrístrufflur

Liquorice truffles

Ingredients

250 g chocolate
150 ml whipping cream
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp licorice salt
1/2 tsp licorice powder
2 Tbsp baking cocoa


Preparation

In a large saucepan, slowly melt the chocolate, cream and butter over low heat.

Carefully crush the licorice salt a little with your fingers and stir it into the melted chocolate-cream mixture.

Then put the mixture in the fridge until it has solidified somewhat.

Mix the baking cocoa with the licorice powder.

Form small balls out of the mixture and roll each one directly in the cocoa-licorice powder mixture.

Then store the finished licorice truffles in the refrigerator and enjoy well chilled.

By the way - I bought this bowl from frjor last weekend during a child-free short holiday in Schwetzingen.

"frjor" is a new label founded in 2014 by designer Anna Becker. The word "frjor" is Icelandic and means "creative", "fertile". The design of their bowls is also inspired by Icelandic motifs - no wonder I fell in love with these bowls when I came across them by chance in the summer!
