Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 200ml of double cream to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat once bubbling.
  2. Add 200g of chopped milk chocolate, 200g of dark chocolate, 50g of unsalted butter, and a pinch of sea salt into the hot cream. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, ideally overnight.
  4. Once set, scoop out portions and roll into balls, using hot water for a smooth finish.
  5. Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and chill for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Melt 300g of additional milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl until smooth.
  7. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on parchment.
  8. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 1 hour.
  9. Roll out green fondant for holly leaves and prepare red fondant balls for berries.
  10. Drizzle icing over the truffles and place fondant decorations on top before it sets.
