Irish Cream Truffles
These mouthwatering truffles are coated in cocoa powder and promise an explosion of flavor with every bite. With a combination of chocolate and Irish cream, they offer a decadent treat that melts in your mouth. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup Irish cream liqueur
- 1 cup cocoa powder (for coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove it from the heat and add the chopped semisweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- After the mixture has chilled, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out portions of chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll each portion into a ball and place them back on the parchment.
- Once all the truffles are shaped, sprinkle the cocoa powder onto a plate. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
- Place the coated truffles in a decorative box or a serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
