Zubereitung von Luscious Chocolate Truffles
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted margarine.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of your favorite liqueur (optional).
- Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small spoon.
- If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up completely.
- Melt 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips in a separate heavy saucepan over low heat with 1 tablespoon of shortening, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat.
- Dip each truffle, one at a time, into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, using a fork to gently lift them out and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle some or all of the truffles with your desired toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt).
- Refrigerate for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
- For an extra touch, drizzle some truffles with a glaze made from 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and a few drops of milk.
