Alcohol -free Chocolate Truffle Torte

Asked on 15 Nov 2017 by Michele Lawrence

Can you tell me what alternative to dark rum I can use this year in Delia's Truffle Torte please? I make this every Christmas but no longer want to use any alcohol

Lindsey, Food Editor replied

Hello,

I would use prune juice or water.

Delia always used an old-fashioned kitchen spoon as a tablespoon, which measures 20mls, so for this recipe it’s 100ml of liquid glucose and 100ml of the substitute that you use in place of the rum.

Best wishes

Lindsey
