Cómo preparar Missouri Colonels
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1/4 cup creme de menthe and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Gradually beat in the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place the truffles on a foil- or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup shortening over low heat, stirring constantly until completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
- Dip one side of each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Return the dipped truffles to the baking sheet and chill until the chocolate is set.
- Once set, cover the baking sheet and store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
