Truffles 5

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup of butter (softened)
  • 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate.
  • Instructions:

    Boil the cream until it thickens. Add the chocolate (broken so it melts faster) and heat until melted. Add butter and stir till melted and mixed. Then whisk in 3 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur, pour into a bowl and chill. Stir several times during the chilling process, and when the stuff is firm, shape it into balls and roll in cocoa, or whatever strikes your fancy. I made:
  • Kahlua dipped in chocolate
  • Drambuie rolled in cocoa
  • mint/Baileys rolled in powdered sugar
  • Frangelico rolled in chopped nuts,
  • Rum rolled in granulated sugar with cinnamon.
  • Notes:

    Store them in the fridge, and bring them out shortly before serving to soften up some.
