ingredients

11 ounces good white chocolate
4 tablespoons double cream
3 tablespoons mincemeat

directions

Line a baking tray with plastic film.
Break (200g) 7-oz of the white chocolate into pieces.
Place in a pan with the double cream and heat very gently until melted.
Remove pan from the heat; add the mincemeat.
Stir until the suet in the mincemeat has melted.
Pour the mixture onto the lined baking tray; chill in the fridge for 1 hour until firm.
Shave the remaining white chocolate into small pieces using a potato peeler, or roughly grate; place on a large plate.
Once firm, divide the chilled mincemeat mixture into 30 pieces; roll into small balls with your hands.
Turn in the chocolate shavings to coat.
Place on a tray and chill for 1 hour until firm.
To prevent the mixture from sticking, dust your hands lightly with icing sugar before rolling the truffles.
The truffles will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
For colour contrast, roll the truffles in milk chocolate shavings instead of white.
