Ingredients
- 250g dark chocolate
- 250g milk chocolate
- 250g cream
- 166 ml Baileys Irish cream
- Dipping chocolate
- 250g milk chocolate
- Cocoa powder (sifted onto a plate)
Method
- Begin by heating the cream until just simmering. Meanwhile, in a bowl, pour the hot cream over a mixture of finely chopped dark and milk chocolate. Allow the chocolate to melt into a velvety consistency.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture into a blender and blend until it transforms into a smooth emulsion. Introduce the Baileys into the blend, continuing to mix until the texture is consistently smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a silicone truffle mould, and place in the fridge to cool.
- While the truffle mixture is chilling, melt the milk chocolate. Ensure it reaches a smooth state without becoming overly hot.
- Once the truffles are cool and firm, dip each truffle ball on a toothpick into the melted milk chocolate, creating a luscious coating.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off by placing the coated truffles on a cooling rack. Once complete, transfer them to the fridge to solidify.
- Finish off by rolling each truffle ball in cocoa powder until evenly coated.
Enjoy!
