Description

These Irish cream-infused chocolate truffles are perfect for special occasions. Roll them in melted chocolate, finely chopped nuts, or cocoa powder for a finishing touch.

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur

Directions

1 Whisk heavy cream and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the edges of the cream show fine bubbles but mixture does not boil, allowing sugar to dissolve. Remove from heat.
2 Whisk butter, chocolate chips, and Irish cream into cream mixture until butter and chocolate chips are melted. Cool to room temperature.
3 Scoop up the chocolate mixture about 1 tablespoon at a time and roll into a 1-inch ball; set truffles on a plate.
4 Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
