Chocolate Truffles With Liqueur
By: Lennie
Jan 21, 2002
Decadent chocolate truffles, made even more sinful with the addition of your favourite liqueur. The yield will depend on how small you roll the truffles; I get at least 15 usually.
SERVES 3
Ingredients
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature (not margarine)
- 3 tablespoons liqueur (I particularly recommend Chambord, Baileys Irish Cream, Grand Marnier, Frangelico, and Sabra ( a ch)
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar, sifted through a sieve to remove lumps
- unsweetened cocoa powder, for coating or rolling
Directions
1
In microwave using medium-low power, melt chocolate in a medium-sized bowl-- the length of time this will take will depend on the strength of your microwave, but expect it to take at least 1 minute.2
Whisk in butter and egg yolk until blended; then whisk in liqueur and icing sugar until smooth.3
Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to shape, about 1 hour.4
Shape mixture into small balls, roll balls in cocoa, then place in tiny foil or paper cups.5
The above will be a messy job on your hands-- they will get quite chocolatey; if mixture gets too soft, return it to the fridge to stiffen up again.6
Keep truffles refrigerated in a covered container; remove from fridge about 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off them.

WOW - these are So good! I used Bailey's and it was excellent! I rolled some in hazelnuts, some in coconut, some in chopped Toblerone, and put a fresh raspberry in some. All were amazing, but the raspberry was the best. Thanks so much Lennie!

I made these for Christmas and they were a little strong alcohol wise. next time I will only add 2 tablespoons of liqueur instead. I made some with white chocolate and Amarula I mixed in rosted and crushed almonds they were delish!!

I made these to give out as christmas presents. They are delicious! (I had to taste test a couple of course...) I made three batches - 1 white chocolate with baileys, 1 milk choc with cointreu and 1 dark chocolate with brandy and mixed dried fruit. They were all equally yummy - the brandy and dried fruit tasted like a christmas pudding truffle - I highly recommend trying it! I know everyone will love these.

These were outstading. I used amaretto with dark chocolate, bailey's with white chocolate. Becuase you adding liquor, the grade of chocolate is less critical than if you were making plain truffles - so this is a $$-smart dessert that tastes like a million! Note: Make sure you watch measurements carefully, if you're off your finished truffle wont set!
