Peppered Chocolate Truffles

Pepper and chocolate is a culinary partnership that works really well. The volatile oils and pungency of black pepper balance and harmonize with the intense flavours of dark chocolate. These truffles are to die for – smooth peppery chocolate ganache dusted with unsweetened cocoa, or a sweeter combination of icing sugar and cocoa, or, best of all, a sparkling frost of caster sugar and crushed grains of paradise.
