--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 150      ml            double cream
 400      g             bitter chocolate -- broken small pieces
   4      tbsp          unsalted butter -- softened
                        best quality unsweetened cocoa powder

Makes 450g/1lb

1. In a saucepan, boil the double cream until reduced to 2 tbsp. Remove 
from heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Add the butter and stir 
gently, then pour on to a large flat plate. Put in the fridge for 45 
minutes until chilled and set.

2. With a teaspoon, scrape across the chocolate so that it forms a rough 
truffle shape in large curls, not balls! Roll them in dry cocoa powder. 
Chill in fridge for at least half and hour before serving.
