GOURMET TRUFFLE SUPREME This rich, decadent, easy to prepare, dessert is a truly unforgettable gourmet treat that must be made at least one day before serving. Ingredients: 3 - 16 ounce bags of semi or bittersweet chocolate chips 1 - 16 ounce bag of white chocolate chips 4 cups heavy whipping cream 1 - 3 teaspoons Grand Marnier, Kahlua, Brandy, Whiskey or any Other liquor as a complement to the delicate chocolate truffle flavor. (optional) 1 medium box of Lemon Instant Pudding Mix (unprepared) 1 - 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks packed in juice 1 jar of apricot glaze or jelly Method: 1. In a small saucepan bring 1 cup of heavy whipping cream just to a full boil. Stir constantly taking care that the delicate cream does not burn. 2. Remove from heat and immediately pour over 16 ounces of small chocolate bits. 3. Wait one minute before whisking vigorously until smooth. 4. Pour into a greased pan and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours. 5. After refrigerating the first layer until very firm, repeat steps 1 - 3 for the second layer. 6. While smoothed chocolate is still in the mixing bowl stir in one 12 ounce tub of thawed cool whip. 7. Pour this mixture over second layer and allow to harden in refrigerator for at least 3 hours, overnight is best. 8. For the third layer repeat steps 1 - 3 but this time, according to your preference, add the liqueur (optional). 9. Pour over the second layer of firm cold truffle chocolate. Allow to chill and harden in the refrigerator at least 2 full hours. Longer is best. 10. For the fourth layer repeat steps 1 - 3 except this time use white chocolate chips instead of dark. 11. Once the entire truffle is completely chilled and very firm to the touch, mix together the Lemon Instant Pudding powder and the juice from the can of pineapple. 12. Once this mixture has formed a smooth, thick glaze, immediately pour this over the entire top of the hardened truffle, and immediately put this back in the refrigerator to chill. 13. May be garnished with cleaned and towel dried fruit dipped in apricot jelly or glaze, to seal and coat the fruit before arranging on finished truffle. 14. Keep chilled until ready to serve. |
