Homemade Chocolate Truffles with Filling

I am a Chocolate Lover!
I have inspiration to make my own truffles from her, Ann (www.HowToCookThat.net)
The way she shows how to do is clear and easy to understand and follow. When we understand the science of chocolate ;), it is fun to create more tastes and designs you love. Therefore I wish to distribute this page to her chocolate expert. Every step I made my own truffles is from her instructions. Thank you so much for making me enjoyable and smarter about chocolate recipes!
About the secret of chocolate, please make sure you understand it before you start. Here's it.

Norwegian's Sveler


Ingredients for 15 pieces
375 gr of all-purpose flour
63 gr of butter, melted
70 gr of brown sugar (this is a less sweet recipe, the original one they use 125 grams)
2 eggs
0.5 tsp of baking soda
500 ml of kulturmelk* or soured milk**

  *"Kulturmelk is Norwegian's soured milk, which is homonized heat treated at ultra-high temperature(90-95 C) and then cooled to the desired acidified temperature (about 21-23 C). After that lactic acid bacteria is added and the acidified process initiates and lasts for a day. This gives the culture milk a different and texture than regular milk", quoted from http://www.tine.no/merkevarer/tine-kulturmj%C3%B8lk/artikler/kulturmelk-hva-er-det
 **"Soured milk is a food product produced from the acidification of milk through bacterial fermentation, which gives the milk a tart taste", quoted fromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soured_milk

Ingredients for buttercream
95 gr of butter
95 gr of icing sugar
63 gr of sugar (Optional, I drop this one to avoid too sweet. But if you like creamy and sweet texture, you can add sugar in)
Or you can use your favourite jam.

How to make
  1. Whisk eggs and brown sugar until it becomes well combined and little pale colored, but not until firm peak. 
  2. Add in kulturmelk or soured milk and keep whisking with low speed.
  3. Add gradually flours in and keep whisking until all is done.
  4. At last put in baking soda and stir it well. You will get good batter with tight thickness to be ready for frying.
  5. On a frying pan with low-medium heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
  6. Ladle a full spoon of batter into the pan. When it starts getting bubbles on sveler surface, flipp into another side of sveler. When it turns golden brown, take it out for serving. Continue with the rest of batter.
  7. To make buttercream, whisk butter with both sugar until creamy smooth.
  8. Serve sveler warm and apply the buttercream on it.
  9. It tastes so good with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!

Homemade Horn with Ham & Cheese

So Yummy!
 Ingredient for 18-20 pieces
528 gr of all-purpose flour
1 ts of salt
50 gr of fresh yeast
350 ml whole milk
100 gr of dairy butter, melted but not warm
150 gr of diced ham
150 gr of grated cheese
1 egg for brushing
some mixed sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and linseed for topping

How to make


  1. Mix flour and salt in a ball and crumble it with yeast by using an electric whisk with dough kneading. You can also easily use your clean hand or a fork to crumble it.
  2. Mixed melted dairy butter with milk. Then add it into flour.
  3. Knead the mixed flour with low speed for 5 minutes and continue to knead with high speed for 2 minutes. Then you will get a good dough.
  4. Butter another clean bowl with little butter. Move dough into the bowl and covered with plastic film. Let the dough sit in a warm place for 40 minutes.
  5. Dust some flour on the kitchen bar or table to smoothen the dough, then divide it into 2 big balls. Divide each ball again to get 9-10 smaller balls. 
  6. You can now shape each ball into Equilateral triangle. As I am an amateur, I don't have any shaped cutter. So, I just use a paper cut into a shape of right triangle. I finally cut a edge out by a knife.
  7. Put diced ham and grated cheese at a wide edge (not a tip side) of  each triangle dough. Then roll it up to get a horn.
  8. Put each horn into the baking tray covered with baking sheet.
  9. After finishing all horns, cover the baking tray with a clean cloth and let it rest for 35 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 225 C.
  11. Brush each horn with egg and sprinkle with some mixed sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and linseed.
  12. Bake in the middle of oven about 10-13 minutes. Yummy!

Ingredients for 6-8 pretzels
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of whole-wheat all-purpose flour
1 . 5 tsp of salt
1 small package of dry yeast (15 gr)
2 tbsp of sugar (I recommended to use brown sugar because it's naturally moister so it helps pretzels a bit softer and moister. However, I didn't have brown one so I used the white sugar. It turns good too).
2 tbsp of baking soda
1 . 5 cups of lukewarm water (for dissolving yeast)
2 cups of warm water (for dissolving baking soda)
3 tbsp of butter, melted
30 grams of salted cashew nut, ground

How to make

  1. Stir and dissolve yeast in 1 . 5 cups of lukewarm water.
  2. Add salt and sugar in and keep stirring to dissolve.
  3. Add both flour in and knead the battle until it become a smooth dough.
  4. Cover the dough with the plastic film and let it rise for half an hour.
  5. Stir and mix baking soda in 2 cups of warm water. Set aside. 
  6. After dough is ready, knead and divide dough into balls. You can decide to have 6 big preztels or 8 medium preztels.
  7. Preheat oven to 230C. 
  8. Roll each ball into a long line with about 1 . 5 cm thickness, and make a pretzel shape. My rolling was still too thick about 2 cm.
  9. Stir the dissolved water of baking soda before using. Dip each pretzel and place on baking tray with a baking sheet. Each pretzel could be a bit sticky and unshaped. But it is easy to fix the shape again on the baking tray.
  10. Let's wait for about 5 minutes so the pretzels can rise a bit more.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes.
  12. After baking, brush melted butter on both sides of each pretzel.
  13. Put the ground salted cashew nut in a big bowl where you can dip each whole pretzel. Sprinkle it on over the pretzel. Time to yummy!

1 litre of whole milk
300 ml of heavy cream
1 tsp of salt
3 tbsp of white rice vinegar

  3. Remove from the heat and stir in vinegar. 
  4. Close the lid and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, which it will start a process to separate into the curds and the milky water called whey.
  5. Prepare a sieve with a thin filter cloth to drain the curbs out of the whey, but you do not need to throw away the whey yet. You can boil it again to get more ricotta cheese ;) No need to add more salt or vinegar. Just boil and let it sit with a lid again.
  6. While you drain out the curds, you can use a spoon to stir and squeeze water out as much as possible.
  7. Leave it drain in the room temperature for 20 minutes. You will see the cheese getting thicker.
  8. Remove the drained ricotta cheese in a box. It can stay about 4-5 days in a refrigerator.

1 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 cup of chocolate chips

How to make
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C.
  2. Line a cake form with a baking sheet. This helps to remove the cake easily after baking.
  3. Whisk oat milk and apple cider vinegar until frothy. Then add peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and water, and mix it well. I use a handy blander so it's easy :)
  4. In another bowl mix the flour, baking soda and salt together, then pour it in the wet ingredients.
  5. Mix it well. The batter becomes like smoothie.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake form, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes.
