Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 lb dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate), finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

coating

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for rolling the truffles)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe large bowl, add the finely chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter together.
  2. Microwave the Mixture: Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Bailey’s and Salt: Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream and sea salt until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the mixture for 2 to 3 hours, allowing it to firm up for easier shaping.
  5. Scoop the Truffles: Remove the chilled mixture from the fridge, and using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, portion out even amounts and shape them into balls with your hands.
  6. Roll in Cocoa Powder: Roll each ball thoroughly in the unsweetened cocoa powder ensuring they are evenly coated, then place them in small cupcake liners for presentation and storage.
  7. Repeat Process: Continue scooping, shaping, and rolling the rest of the mixture in cocoa powder until all truffles are formed.
  8. Serve and Store: For best flavor and texture, keep the truffles refrigerated in an airtight container and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use good-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the mixture is well chilled to make shaping easier.
  • These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For extra flair, you can roll some truffles in chopped nuts or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
  • Handle the truffles gently as they can soften quickly at room temperature.
