Step-by-step

  1. Place the cream, puree and sauce along with the butter and honey into a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil
  2. Once boiled, carefully whisk in the chocolate
  3. This will create a Ganache - a rich, shiny emulsified mixture which you can then pour back in to the bowl
  4. Clingfilm and place into the fridge. Leave overnight to set.
  5. When set, using a teaspoon or a melon baller, spoon little truffles out and roll into cocoa powder. Alternatively you can pipe these into little chocolate logs and then roll in cocoa powder.
