Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe

from: Melanie Mendelson
Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe




Ingredients:



16 oz dark chocolate



1 cup heavy cream



1 tbsp liquor (optional) (if using, coffee liquor goes really well here)



Directions:



Break up the chocolate into small pieces.



Heat the cream just to the point of simmering. Watch it the whole time, since boiling cream can overflow the pot! Remove from heat right away once it starts to simmer.



Stir in the chocolate and liquor, and keep stirring until the chocolate has melted completely. Let cool, then put in the refrigerator.



Check the consistency of the truffle mixture after 5 hours in the refrigerator. You should be able to scoop it with a spoon and roll balls from it. If it\'s too soft (impossible to roll into balls), put it back in the refrigerator and check again after 1 hour.



Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the truffle mixture is the right consistency, use a spoon to put some of it on your hands, roll into balls and put the balls on the parchment paper.



Note: at this point, you can also roll the truffles in chocolate crumbs (to make chocolate crumbs, just grind an additional small chocolate bar in a food processor). This step is optional, I only do it when presentation is important, since the truffles in chocolate crumbs look more professionally done then plain truffles :)



Put the baking sheet with truffles in the freezer for at least 1 hour. After you remove them from the freezer, take the truffles off the parchment paper and put on a plate. Store the truffles in the refrigerator.



Enjoy!
