Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring the cream and orange zest to the boil then remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 2

Strain the cream into a bowl, add the chocolate to the cream and stir until it has melted. Add the butter and stir gently until the butter has melted. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or plate so the truffle mix is about two centimetres deep. Cover and place in the refrigerator to set overnight.

Step 3

Remove the chocolate half an hour before you wish to roll the chocolate truffles. Scrape the side of a spoon across the chocolate so that it forms rough curls or alternatively take teaspoon amounts and roll into balls.

Step 4

Gently toss the curls through the cocoa powder and put them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
