How to Make Bittersweet Chocolate Cassis Truffles
- Finely chop 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. If any lumps remain, set the bowl over a slightly larger bowl of hot (not boiling) water and continue to whisk until melted and smooth.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of crème de cassis liqueur and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
- Once firm, roll the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Melt 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate for dipping (optional).
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Place the dipped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once set, drizzle melted dark chocolate or cocoa powder for garnish (optional).
