Champagne Truffles

2/22/15

brunchwithjoy_champagnetruffles_0215_1I think I’m in a food comma from all the celebrations we had since last Wednesday. The dinner, the gatherings, the delicious meals, the BYB Conference, meeting new friends, learning new stuffs – they all came together in one package and now I’m ready for a good long massage. But before then, let’s pop a champagne.

brunchwithjoy_champagnetruffles_0215_2
I opened my bottle of champagne a bit too early this year. It all started back in December when I baked a Champagne Cake during our family Christmas celebration. Next was Champagne cupcakes with delicious buttercream on top because I wanted to hone my piping skills. And these came third. With a Red Carpet Party coming, I figured I need to pop another bottle and turn it into… truffles.

I love these little nibblets because I can share them with everyone in the room or pack them in a cute box as a gift. I was having hard time during the making of it because I couldn’t stop eating them. They are too dangerous to be placed near me, so now I’ll share the recipe with you.

  1. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium low until simmering.

  3. Mix in the champagne. Set in the freezer for 1-2 hours until the mixture is firm.

    I’m not sure I could stop eating these either! And after only using 5 tablespoons, I’d behappy to enjoy them with a glass of champagne so that the rest of the bottle doesn’t go to waste 🙂

    Champagne truffles sound like a perfect excuse to open a bottle of bubbly to me! Your pictures are gorgeous and I’m pretty sure I’d wouldn’t be able to help myself around these.
