Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, Kahlua, Rum, or other liqueur
- 50 grams Cocoa powder (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heat-resistant mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (do not boil). Immediately remove it from the heat.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Stir in the unsalted butter and your choice of liqueur (Grand Marnier, Kahlua, Rum, etc.) until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Step 7
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, create bite-sized portions of the ganache. Roll them quickly between your palms to form smooth balls.
Step 8
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
Step 9
Transfer the truffles to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
