These truly decadent truffles are rich enough for the most devoted chocolate lover.
Makes about 50
Ingredients:
300 g / 10.5 oz good-quality dark chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Amarula (or other liqueur)
Garnish:
1/2 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
Preparation:
Chop chocolate, and place in a bowl
Bring the cream to a gentle boil in a small, heavy saucepan
Pour the cream over the chocolate
Let stand for about 5 minutes then stir until smooth
Stir in liqueur
Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight
Scoop up 1/2 teaspoon of chilled chocolate, and quickly roll into a ball
Continue until mixture is all used up
Roll each truffle in cocoa to coat them
Chill until firm
Enjoy!

Truffles always make a delicious treat. I’m not familiar with Amarula but I usually like most liqueurs – as you said any kind would be good. Have a good weekend and thanks for coming to the party.

You will need to try some Amarula one day, a bit like Baileys but much nicer. (But then, I am biased).
