Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 20 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Chambord liqueur
• 50 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 15 grams Optional: freeze-dried raspberries (crushed, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

4. Add the unsalted butter and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

5. Stir in the Chambord liqueur until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 7

7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion out the chilled chocolate mixture, rolling each portion into a ball with your hands. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

8. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly. For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle or roll the truffles in crushed freeze-dried raspberries for added flavor and color.

Step 9

9. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Remove them from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to allow them to soften slightly.
