For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate mixture. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. If the chocolate mixture is too soft to roll, refrigerate for a longer period. Tempering the chocolate for coating will give the truffles a professional, shiny finish and a satisfying snap. Variations: add a bit of coffee extract, orange zest or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a different flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream and sugar. (2 minutes)
02
StepHeat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is steaming gently, with fine bubbles forming around the edges. Be careful not to boil. Remove from heat. (5-7 minutes)
03
StepAdd the cubed butter, chocolate chips, and Irish cream liqueur to the warm cream mixture. Whisk continuously until the butter and chocolate are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. (3-5 minutes)
04
StepPour the chocolate mixture into a shallow dish or container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. (1 minute)
05
StepRefrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and roll. (2+ hours)
06
StepOnce firm, scoop the chocolate mixture using a small spoon or melon baller, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Gently roll each portion between your palms to form a 1-inch ball. Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (20-30 minutes)
07
StepReturn the truffles to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before coating. (30 minutes)
08
StepRoll the chilled truffles in your desired coating: cocoa powder, finely chopped nuts, or tempered chocolate. (15-20 minutes)
09
StepStore the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
