19 December 2023Are you looking to treat yourself and your family to a luxurious treat this holiday season? CBD chocolate truffles are perfect! They are really easy to make and fit well with the Christmas atmosphere. Not only will you enjoy your own homemade chocolate delicacies, but you’ll also benefit from the advantages of CBD Oil. In this blog, you will find the recipe and tips on how to make these truffles even more delicious.
The Benefits of CBD Chocolate Truffles
Around the Christmas days, you’re often busy in the kitchen. Do you feel like making CBD chocolate truffles yourself? Don’t worry, these truffles are easy and quick to make yourself. What’s fun is that you can add your own twist to them, creating real Christmas truffles. Who would still want chocolates from a box?
Truffles contain just a few ingredients: chocolate and cream. It’s actually ganache. That sounds luxurious, and it is! Truffles are known to be a luxurious treat and are therefore a great delicacy to put on the table at Christmas. Make them special with your chosen decorations and flavor.
What makes these chocolate truffles even more special is the addition of CBD oil. CBD is a supplement that people use to give their health a boost. That’s no unnecessary luxury in the winter. CBD works as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. It can bring relief for painful joints, muscle pain, flu, and headaches. Also, during the hustle and bustle of the holidays, you can suffer from stress, fatigue, and worry. The calming properties of CBD can then come in handy.
What’s in CBD Chocolate Truffles?
As mentioned, it’s very simple to make CBD chocolate truffles. They originally contain only 2 ingredients, namely chocolate and cream. But to make them extra creamy, we also add butter. And of course, you add your own dosage of CBD oil.
Ingredients:
- 225 grams of dark chocolate
- 160 ml cream
- 1 tablespoon of soft butter
- CBD oil
- Optional: orange, peppermint, or vanilla extract
Important: use pure chocolate from a bar, not chocolate chips. These do not have a good consistency when melted. If used in chocolate chip cookies, you can also see that they do not melt and that’s what we want for these truffles. If you want sweeter truffles, you can use milk chocolate. If you choose this, use less cream (120 ml) because milk chocolate is much softer than dark.
Use full-fat cream or whipped cream. It’s not a good idea to use low-fat cream, as then the truffles won’t set properly. Adding butter to the recipe will give the truffles a delicious, rich flavor and helps them set better.
Do you want to garnish your CBD chocolate truffles a little more? Then you can coat them with, for example, peanuts, coconut shavings, powdered sugar, cocoa, or sprinkles. You can also add your own twist to these truffles by adding extract, such as vanilla or orange extract.
How much CBD should you add to your chocolate truffles? With this recipe, you can make about 24 truffles. To calculate your dose, it’s handy to first think about how many truffles you will eat in a day. If it’s just one, then you can add 24 doses of CBD oil to your truffles. If you want more, it’s a good idea to halve the dose.
How to Make Chocolate Truffles
This recipe is very precisely composed. Because so few ingredients are used, we advise you not to deviate from the recipe. If you use more cream or more chocolate, the truffles will become too hard or not set properly.
Pour the cream and butter into a pan and heat it up until it’s almost boiling. Crumble the chocolate in a bowl. The finer you crumble it, the easier it will melt later. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate. Many people start stirring now, but wait a moment. Let the chocolate melt quietly. After a few minutes, you can stir until all the chocolate has melted. Now add the CBD oil.
A major advantage of making CBD chocolate truffles is that the CBD oil is not heated too strongly. This preserves all the valuable active substances. Also, add the extract if you’re going to use it. Now it’s time to cool the mixture. Place it in the fridge for 1 or 2 hours, until the chocolate is somewhat solidified.
Take the bowl out of the fridge. Roll balls from the chocolate and then roll them through a topping if you want. The truffles might be very sticky. This is because they are so wonderfully creamy, but that can make it difficult to shape them. A tip is to wear rubber gloves or put some cocoa powder on your hands.
