Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Chambord liqueur
- 50 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 15 grams Optional: freeze-dried raspberries (crushed, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
4. Add the unsalted butter and stir until fully incorporated.
5. Stir in the Chambord liqueur until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion out the chilled chocolate mixture, rolling each portion into a ball with your hands. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly. For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle or roll the truffles in crushed freeze-dried raspberries for added flavor and color.
9. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Remove them from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to allow them to soften slightly.
