Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 45 ml Baileys Irish Cream
- 20 grams Unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 50 grams Cocoa powder (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate and placing it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Slowly stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Add in the Baileys Irish Cream and room-temperature butter. Stir until fully combined.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or until it is firm enough to handle.
Step 7
Once chilled, scoop small portions of the chocolate mixture using a teaspoon or a melon baller and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from melting.
Step 8
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly. Shake off any excess cocoa powder.
Step 9
Place the finished truffles on a plate or in mini cupcake liners and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Step 10
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
