How to prepare Pandoro chocolate truffles

To prepare the pandoro chocolate truffles, crumble the pandoro with your hands 1, add the grated zest of an untreated orange 2 and the liquid cream 3.

Knead with your hands until you obtain a moldable mixture 4. Sift some unsweetened cocoa powder on a tray 5 and start forming balls, taking about 0.7 oz of mixture for each 6.

Roll each ball in the unsweetened cocoa 7 and place them in small paper cups 8. When you have finished the mixture, prepare the ganache for the coating: melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave and pour in the cream that you have heated until just before boiling 9.

Mix the cream and chocolate well 10, then with a teaspoon pour a little ganache over the pandoro truffles 11 and decorate them with coarsely chopped almonds or hazelnuts 12: here are your pandoro chocolate truffles!
