Easy Chocolate Truffles Recipe


Ready in: 30-60 minutes


Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)


Serves/Makes: 2 dozen





Ingredients:


1/2 pound chocolate


1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter


1/4 cup liqueur - any flavor


1/2 cup heavy cream


1/3 cup powdered sugar


1/2 pound chocolate for covering








Directions:





Melt the chocolate with the butter, cream and liqueur. Beat well to blend together. Pour into a bowl and chill. When firm enough to shape, roll into balls. It helps to roll them in cocoa powder and set on a sheet of waxed paper.





Leave in the freezer to chill and meanwhile slowly melt the remaining chocolate. Dip the truffles into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Let set on sheets of waxed paper.





Note: This makes an extravagant dessert to serve with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, hot coffee and liqueurs. This is an easy and delicious recipe for making truffles. It can be varied by the liqueur used for flavoring and by the addition of fruits or nuts. It also works well with white chocolate.I need a super easy recipe for chocolate truffles... quick!?

I made these to give out as Christmas presents a few years ago...Everyone loved them





http://www.ghirardelli.com/bake/recipe.a鈥?/a>





as for the coatings I tried a lot of things, crushed nuts, cocoa, mini chocolate chips, you could use heart sprinkles, ganache, whatever really





I also used white chocolate in place of Chocolate so there was a big variety there
ghirardelli's baking dark chocolate chips has a recipe on the back of the bag.


It doesnt look hard. Just make sure to let the chocolate mix cool by itself (no fridge) - otherwise you'll have a tough time with the consistency...
