I learnt this from watching Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Christmas 2010. Immediately, the very next day, 23rd Dec, i went to shop for ingredients and made this for our Christmas 2010! As my wife loved Dark Chocolate, this was a real treat!
Ingredients
250ml double cream (48% fat)
250ml single cream (10% to 12% fat) or you can use evaporated milk
500g dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids)
130g butter, diced
130g honey

500g dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids)
130g butter, diced
130g honey
cocoa powder
Method
1. Pour both creams into a medium saucepan.
2. Heat very gently for 5–6 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, break up the chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl with the diced butter and honey.
Strain the hot cream through a sieve onto the chocolate, butter and honey.

4. Continue to stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Pour the mixture into a dish, chill in the fridge for an hour or until firm.
6. Scatter cocoa powder on separate plates. Take the truffle mix from the fridge and, using a teaspoon, scoop out a portion and shape into a sphere by quickly rolling it in your hands. (Do this speedily to avoid the truffle melting with the warmth of your hands.)
