Rum Truffles 2

Ingredients:
  • 3.5 ozs cooking chocolate
  • 2 egg yolks
  • coconut
  • 1 oz ground almonds
  • 2 ozs butter
  • 7 ozs icing sugar (powdered sugar)
  • 2 Tbsp dark rum
  • 1 oz plain biscuit crumbs

    • Instructions:

    Put broken choc. & butter in bowl & soften in microwave or double boiler. Mix in egg yolks then remaining ingredients, except coconut. Chill until firm then form into small balls & roll in coconut. Keep in refrigerator.

    Variations:

    Replace Rum with tipple of your choice ie Brandy, Sherry, Orange or Coffee liqueur. The mixture may be rolled around a glace cherry or ginger. Try choc. hail instead of coconut. For a real luxury, soak a few glace cherries in the same liqueur overnight (or longer) then make the balls. Superb with coffee liqueur...I'm trying them with Grand Marnier this year
