Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 20 g Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp Amarula liqueur
- 1 tsp Instant coffee granules
- 3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the instant coffee granules until dissolved, and pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate.
Let the chocolate sit undisturbed for 2 minutes, then gently stir until fully melted and smooth.
Add the Amarula liqueur and stir until well combined. The mixture should have a silky consistency.
Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the truffle mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. If the mixture is sticky, lightly dust your hands with cocoa powder.
Place the truffle balls on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Spread the cocoa powder (and powdered sugar, if using) on a plate. Roll the truffles in the powder to coat evenly.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
