I like the idea of using grass fed cream and grass fed butter along with a darker chocolate chip to make easy truffle recipes.

You'll end up with more nutritious low carb and very decadent chocolate easy truffle recipes.

What is Cardamom?

Cardamom comes in green, white (bleached), and black (for savory dishes). 

For this easy truffle recipe, just crush the seeds of the green cardamom and throw away the pods.

1. Pour hot cream over the chocolate.  Stir until well combined.  Then separate into 3 smaller glass bowls.
2. Leave 1st bowl plain, stir orange liqueur into 2nd bowl, and stir brandy into 3rd bowl.
3. Cool down to room temperature and then chill in refrigerator until chocolate is firm.  Then scoop out using a small ice cream scoop.
   
4. Shape into balls with your hands and place on a marked/parchment lined tray.
5. Then chill again in the refrigerator until chocolate truffles are fully set.
   
6. Roll plain truffles into nuts and dip "spiked" truffles with a fork into melted chocolate. 
   
7. Put your dipped truffles on a baker's rack to end up with clean looking easy truffle recipes.

Easy truffle recipes are basically a Ganache recipe that's usually based on a 1 to 1 ratio of heavy cream to chocolate.

For every 16 oz. (2 cups) of heavy cream, use 16 oz. (1 pound) of chocolate.  Although, easy truffle recipes will vary.
