Chocolate Cayenne Truffles

Recipe #287039 | ½ day | 8 hours prep | add private note

By: korvus

This is a recipe I found on the Internet in several different places. I love it, though I've found that some people find it too intense to enjoy. If you know someone who likes spicy food, this might not be a bad Valentine's Day treat. It starts off cool and sweet, but is spicy when it melts on your tongue. The ginger on the outside helps give a little bite at the start.

SERVES 10 , 20 -30 truffles (depending on size) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt chocolate, butter and cayenne in a double boiler, or a bowl in the microwave. Stir well.
  2. 2
    Remove from heat. Mix in cream and 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar. Stir well. (The sugar will stick together in small lumps if you aren't vigorous about it.).
  3. 3
    Cover, and chill overnight.
  4. 4
    Create a mixture of 1/3 cup powdered sugar, the cocoa powder, ginger, and cinnamon.
  5. 5
    Scoop out the chocolate, one tablespoon at a time. Mold it into balls. (this is messy; get used to it.) Roll the balls in the powder mixture to coat them.
  6. 6
    Put them back in the fridge, until serving time.
