How to Make Bittersweet Chocolate Cassis Truffles

  1. Finely chop 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of crème de cassis liqueur and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
  6. Once firm, roll the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls.
  7. Melt 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate for dipping (optional).
  8. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  9. Place the dipped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  10. Once set, drizzle melted dark chocolate or cocoa powder for garnish (optional).
