Barb,

I hope this helps. I wasn't sure if you meant whipping cream or "cool whip" whipped cream.

Basic Truffle Recipe

This is a basic truffle filling to which you can add your own flavorings or extracts. You may use this to fill the chocolate shells you make using candy molds or roll into balls then into powdered sugar, cocoa, sprinkles or other toppings.

INGREDIENT LIST:

3/4 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped (if you're gonna do this, buy some quality chocolate. It makes a big difference in the taste)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
toppings of your choice: cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, finely chopped nuts, powdered sugar

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chocolate and cream. Cook, stirring, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and whisk in flavoring, if desired.

Pour into a small dish and refrigerate until set, but not hard, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Form balls and roll in toppings. Work as fast as you can, because the heat of your hands will start to melt the truffle,

After shaping, put back in the refrigerator to firm.
