Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp Kahlua liqueur
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Finely chop the semi-sweet chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Heat the mixture until it just begins to simmer, then remove it from the heat.
Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Using a spatula or whisk, gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
Stir in the Kahlua liqueur and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for 1-2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop but still pliable.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, scoop out portions of the chilled ganache and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the rolled truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm them up further.
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
Store the Kahlua truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving.
