A very simple variation of the traditional recipe. Add any flavoring to the mixture that you enjoy. Liqueur of any type is good - as are finely chopped nuts.





9 oz. chocolate chips (you can use semisweet; bittersweet or milk chocolate 鈥?whatever you like best)


2 tablespoons butter


1/3 cup heavy cream


1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder





In a double boiler, melt chips and butter. Add cream and stir until smooth and satin like. Cover and refrigerate until set - about 6 hours.





Place cocoa in a bowl and set aside.





To make truffles, scoop a teaspoon of chocolate mixture. Form ball with your hands and then roll in cocoa. Store in airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.Do u have a truffle recipe that u like that u could give me?

This is a really delicious recipe for chocolate truffles. enjoy!





1 cup sugar


2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, processed in a food processor


2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder


4 ounces unsweetened chocolate


1/2 lb unsalted butter


4 large eggs


2 cups sugar


1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour


1/8 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract





Preheat the oven to 350掳F Butter an 8x16-inch pan.


Make the coating by combining the 1 cup sugar, the powdered coffee, and the cocoa. Set aside.


In a heavy saucepan, or the microwave, melt the chocolate and butter together. Beat the eggs until they are light and then gradually beat in the 2 cups sugar. Stir in the chocolate mixture. Gradually add the flour, salt, and vanilla. This mixture is not meant to be light and fluffy, just fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake 25 minutes. The brownies will be slightly underdone and very moist. Allow to cool in the pan.


When cool enough to handle, cut the brownies into 1x1-inch squares. Roll each square in the palms of your hands into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls in the coating mixture. Pack in tins or plastic containers with wax paper between the layers and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Or place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen, pack in containers, and store in the freezer up to 4 months.
Chocolate Espresso Sambuca Truffles





12 oz chopped bittersweet chocolate


1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces


1/4 cup heavy cream


1 Tbsp instant espresso powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp boiling water


2 Tbsp Sambuca or another anise flavored liqueur


1 cup cocoa powder for coating truffles





In stainless steel bowl over pan of simmering water, melt chocolate and butter with cream and espresso, stirring until smooth. Remove bowl from heat, stir in liqueur and cool. Once cool, chill covered for at least 3 hours.





Form rounded teaspoons of mixture into balls and roll in cocoa powder. Keep layered between sheets of wax paper and chilled in airtight container. Will keep 2 weeks.





Makes about 50 truffles.
