Photo: Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 50 grams (scant 2 ounces) Vietnamese cinnamon chips
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
- 15 grams (1/2-ounce, about 2 tablespoons) whole allspice berries
- 1 liter (about 4 cups) heavy cream
- 700 grams (1 pound 9 ounces) 60 percent dark chocolate, uniformly chopped
- 300 grams (11 ounces) milk chocolate, uniformly chopped
- 40 grams (1.5 ounces about 3 tablespoons) butter, room temperature, cut into uniform pieces
Directions
Dry Roast the spices in a saute pan over medium-high heat until you can smell the perfume from the spices. Once the spices have been roasted for a bit, then add the heavy cream. Remove from heat and steep 1 hour. Strain out the spices.
Reheat the strained cream and pour the warm cream over the chocolate. Stir with a spatula to mix the chocolate completely until melted and combined. Once the chocolate is uniform in texture, add the butter and stir until well combined.
Pour into another bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Place in a pastry bag and form little blobs onto a tray. Refrigerate until firm to the touch. Remove and roll to desired form.

I made these a few days ago. I was looking at truffle recipes and came across this one. Being a Bobby Flay fan, of course had to try this. Really loved it. Spicey and chocolaty, so delicious. BTW I rolled some in different things as well, coconut, nuts etc. I loved em all. Thanks Bobby and Food network.
As for you folks who can't afford to buy these ingredients or they are too hard for you to go to 3 min. extra trouble for a truly exciting taste, or you can't wait until the recipe is posted and haven't even made it. I agree with another post. Get a life and quit being jealous of Bobby Flay.

As a very accomplished "chocolatier" in my own right, I have to congratulate Bobby on this truffle recipe. I happened to see this show today, and immediately got hit with the "chocolate urge" to create another chocolate creation. Truffles are one of my specialties, and this savory and sweet medley is perfect.
