Chocolates are noble sweets, which you can also make yourself. Our three delicious recipes are ideal for impressing guests and also for enjoying delicious creations yourself. We’ll show you how to do it.

Make chocolates yourself: ice cube truffles

To make the pralines yourself, you need about 30 pieces, 2 tablespoons of caramel cream “Dulce de leche”, 60 grams of layered nougat, 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds, 2.5 teaspoons of coconut fat, and 150 grams of chopped dark chocolate for this recipe.

• Add the chopped almonds to the caramel cream and mix well.
• Cut the layered nougat into 15 thin slices, which must later fit into the silicone praline mold provided.
• Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil either in the microwave or in a water bath.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the mold so that each cavity is about 1/3 full and place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
• Place a piece of layered nougat and half a teaspoon of caramel filling on top of each chocolate. Then pour the rest of the chocolate over it.
• Leave the pralines in the freezer for another half hour before you can remove them from the mold.

Port wine plum marzipan pralines

For 30 homemade port wine and plum marzipan pralines, you need 150 grams of soft plums, 225 grams of raw marzipan mixture, 150 milliliters of port wine, and some icing sugar and cocoa powder.

• Pour the port into a bowl, halve the plums and soak for about an hour.
• Pour both through a sieve, but save the port so you can use it for other things. Pat the plums dry with some kitchen paper.
• Divide the marzipan into 30 pieces of equal size, form balls, and then flatten them.
• Place the plums on the marzipan and form a ball again so that the plums are in the middle.
• While you dust one half with icing sugar, you can roll the remaining pralines in cocoa.
