Easy make these delicious chocolate truffles at home with just a few ordinary ingredients. They taste incredibly creamy, delicate and melt-in-the-mouth. The praline truffles are perfect for snacking on and giving as gifts for any special occasion. You can find a detailed recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Refine homemade chocolate truffles
You can give your praline truffles any flavor you like by refining them with different ingredients, similar to the marzipan potatoes.
For example, stir sweet spices such as ground vanilla bean, cinnamon or star anise into the chocolate mixture. You can use amaretto or whiskey instead of rum.
I rolled my chocolate truffles in homemade raspberry powder and cocoa powder. I also coated some of them in chocolate.
Optionally, you can roll the praline truffles in any fruit powders or powdered sugar. Chopped nuts, such as hazelnuts, peanuts or pistachios, and shredded coconut are also suitable. The chocolate truffles taste just as delicious without a coating.
How to store praline truffles
Store the homemade chocolate truffles in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for up to around 1 week.
Take them out of the fridge around 10 minutes before you want to enjoy them and leave them at room temperature. Then they taste particularly melt-in-the-mouth.
Noble gift from the kitchen

How to make chocolate truffles: tips and tricks
- Use high-quality, delicious chocolate with a high cocoa content for the chocolate truffles recipe. I used organic dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70%.
- You can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. In this case, reduce the amount of cream by about half.
- You can replace rum with amaretto or whiskey. Alcohol gives the chocolate mixture a smoother and softer consistency. Alternatively, you can leave it out.
- You can also refine the chocolate mixture with sweet spices, such as ground vanilla bean, cinnamon or star anise.
- If your chocolate mixture has become too firm in the fridge to form balls, leave it at room temperature for a short time.
- Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, any fruit powders or powdered sugar can also be used to coat the praline truffles.

Chocolate truffles
Ingredients
for rolling and decorating (optional)
- approx. 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- approx. 1 tbsp raspberry powder
- approx. 50 g dark chocolate
- some pistachios coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Break dark chocolate into small pieces or chop it coarsely and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Cut butter into small pieces and add to the chocolate.
- Heat cream (do not boil) and pour it over the chocolate with butter.
- Leave the chocolate mixture to stand briefly, stirring repeatedly with a whisk until the chocolate and butter have melted and a homogeneous, smooth ganache mixture is formed.
- Leave the chocolate mixture to cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally, and stir in rum.
- Then cover and place in the fridge for about 1 hour until firm but not too hard.
- Form small balls (in my case approx. 15 g each) from the chocolate mixture, you can roll your hands in cocoa powder again and again.
- Roll some of the chocolate truffles in raspberry powder, some in cocoa powder and leave some uncoated.
- Spread the praline truffles on a cutting board or serving tray lined with baking paper and chill for approx. 1 hour.
- Melt dark chocolate slowly over a hot water bath.
- Take the praline truffles without the coating out of the fridge, first insert a toothpick not too deep into one of the balls and briefly dip the ball into the melted chocolate from all sides so that it is completely coated. Allow the chocolate to drip off briefly, place the chocolate ball on baking paper, carefully remove the toothpick and allow the chocolate ball to dry briefly. Coat the remaining balls with the melted chocolate in the same way and leave them to dry on the baking paper.
- Pour the remaining melted chocolate onto the chocolate balls in the form of strips and immediately sprinkle them with some chopped pistachios.
- Transfer all the chocolate truffles to a sealable container and keep them in the fridge. Leave them at room temperature for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
