Course: Dessert
Servings: 6
Calories: 150 kcal
Ingredients
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped [see note]
- 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur such as Baileys
- 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for rolling
Instructions
1.
Add chopped chocolate to a heat-safe bowl and
set aside.
2.
Heat Irish cream liqueur in a microwave-safe
bowl for 20 seconds, or until it's hot (but not boiling hot). Pour over the
chopped chocolate and let sit for 3-4 minutes.
3.
Begin to whisk/stir the mixture together. Add
the butter and instant espresso powder and stir. You may wish to pop the bowl
back in the microwave for a few seconds if the mixture needs to be heated a bit
more.
4.
Continue stirring/whisking until the mixture is
smooth and shiny.
5.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the
plastic wrap is pressed against the entire top surface. Refrigerate for two
hours, or until the truffle mixture is firm enough to hold shape well.
6.
Line a plate with parchment paper. Using a
1-1/2" capacity cookie scoop and portion out the chilled truffle mixture.
Lightly coat your palms with unsweetened cocoa powder to prevent the mixture
from sticking, and roll out each truffle until round.
7.
Place rolled truffles on the parchment-lined
plate and refrigerate again for 30 minutes or so until firmed up some more. Add
a small amount of unsweetened cocoa powder to a plate and roll truffles in it
for serving. Store truffles in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
You may use your favorite variety of bittersweet or dark
chocolate, however I'm partial to a bittersweet variety that lists 60% cacao
content. Please note that bittersweet chocolate is NOT the same thing as
bitter/baking chocolate, the latter of which is unsweetened and would not be
good here.
The recipe time is nearly all inactive, and includes 2 hours
for the first chill, and 30 minutes for the second.
