Ingredients
Makes 16
- 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of sweet butter
- 2 egg yolks (use pasteurized eggs if you have any concerns about the safety of the raw eggs)
- 1/4 cup of Baileys Irish Cream
- Edible decorations such as powdered sugar, cocoa, sprinkles, etc.
Steps
Making the Truffle Mixture
- Place a pot on very low heat. Add the heavy cream, chocolate, and Baileys. Allow to cook gently to melt together.
- You might prefer to use a double boiler for this part.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the butter and eggs very quickly. You'll want the eggs to mix in, not cook.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator. Allow to chill until the chocolate is firm (for example, overnight).
Creating the Truffle Balls
- Spoon up the mixture in a teaspoon. Create small balls using your clean fingers.
- Add edible decoration. Dip or roll the truffle balls into cocoa, powdered sugar, sprinkles, etc.
- Done. If giving as a gift, place the truffles into individual paper cases and arrange neatly in a gift box with a lid. Seal with a ribbon and add a card.
Things You'll Need
