Extra dark, rich and creamy.
Oh, and did I mention, easy?
Yes, they are!
Chocolate Truffles
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 c heavy cream
1 T orange liqueur. I used Godiva Chocolate.
or you could use vanilla extract.
1/4 t salt
unsweetened cocoa powder, for rolling
Bring cream, liqueur and salt to a simmer in a
small saucepan over low heat.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate.
Whisk until smooth and glossy.
Chill 30 minutes until firm.
Scoop chocolate into 1 inch balls.
Roll in cocoa.
I rolled mine in a variety of coatings.
Keep chilled until ready to serve.
