Welcome to week 4 of my blog! I'm changing it up this week. For this weeks bake, I made pumpkin spice truffles. I had been looking forward to making these for a while, so I was very excited to finally get to make them. This week's treats went to the staff at IBM. I had never made truffles before this week unless you count Oreo balls as truffles. I love anything pumpkin, and I love truffles so I thought this would be a fun thing to bake. I also thought that this would give me the opportunity to try something different and gain some experience in baking something rather than just cakes and cupcakes. This weeks ingredient list was surprisingly short and the ingredients were pretty common compared to the lists in the past. Therefore, it was easy for me to get my hands on the ingredients I needed. A couple days before beginning I read through the direction and saw that I was going to have to let these chill for at least 2 hours in between steps. I couldn’t decide if I should do it all in one day or if I should do it in the span of two days. I ended up doing it in the span of two days. Day one of the process was relatively simple. All I had to do was heat up some chocolate and whipping cream and mix it together with a few other ingredients, and then chill it. The next day I rolled them into balls and coated them with chocolate. It was hard to roll them into balls because the batter was rock hard so it was hard to scoop it out, and it was sticking to my hands really bad. I would roll two or three and then wash my hands, roll two or three and wash my hands. This turned out to be the quickest recipe I’ve made so far, but it was my least favorite so far. They didn’t turn out as pretty as I would’ve liked, the recipe didn’t make many, and I didn’t love the way they tasted. However, I still donated to the staff at IBM and they really liked them which made me feel better. A few of them even wanted to recipe. Next week I hope to be satisfied with my results. Like always you can find pictures of the baking process and my results below. As well as the link to the recipe for the truffles. See you next week!
