Upper School Enterprise Outcome 2
The challenge for this Enterprise Outcome combined making chocolate truffles with lots of mathematical concepts. This included ratios to increase the quantity of ingredients needed to make a greater amount of the mixture and accurate measuring to design the net of a shape to make a 3D presentation box.
The first part of the session was to make the Truffles.
Ingredients list: Greek Festive Truffles
This quantity makes 3/4 truffles. You will need to increase the quantity according to the number of truffles you would like to make!
Makes: 3-4 truffles
30g dark chocolate, melted
35g of biscuits, crushed
30ml of milk
1tsp of cream
½ tsp of flaked coconut (optional)
Method
1.) Crush the biscuits in a freezer bag until they have broken into small pieces (about the size
of a raisin).
2.) Add the milk and cream to the melted chocolate, blend until the ingredients combine
3.) Add the crushed biscuits and any extra ingredients you choose.
4.) Place the mixture in the fridge to cool for 1-2 hours.
5.) Remove the mixture for the chocolate truffles from the refrigerator. Wet your hands with some water, to make it easier to work with the chocolate mixture, and shape the chocolate truffles into balls by rolling between the palms of your hands.
6.) Roll the chocolate truffles in cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles and then put into your presentation box.
Then there was the designing of the presentation box!
All that remains is the tasting of the truffles! Let us know what they were like!
