Fig and Whisky Chocolate Truffles

Mix the figs with the whisky and leave to macerate overnight in a sealed container.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and leave to sit for 3 minutes then whisk to combine. If necessary return to the heat briefly, then whisk again until smooth.

Add the fig and whisky mixture and half of the walnuts and stir to combine. Pour into a container and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours.

Once set, use a spoon to scoop out the chocolate mixture and roll into small balls. Finish by either rolling in the remaining finely chopped walnuts or dark cocoa powder.

Refrigerate until half an hour before serving. Makes 30
