Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons liqueur (e.g., Baileys, Grand Marnier, or Kahlúa)
- 50 grams cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just about to boil. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the unsalted butter and stir until fully incorporated.
Stir in the liqueur of your choice, mixing well to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls between your palms.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
