Method

  1. In a pan add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, once melted add a pinch of salt. Stir in the chocolate until it melts.

  2. Once the mixture is completely smooth, pour into a bowl and place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.

  3. If topping with nuts, toast in pan on a medium heat until lightly golden, then crush up in a pestle and mortar.

  4. Take the chocolate mixture out of the fridge, roll into small balls and then roll each ball in either the nuts or cocoa powder.
