How to Make Black Russian Truffles

  1. Place 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate in a food processor.
  2. Process until the chocolate is finely chopped.
  3. In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 1-1 1/2 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the cream begins to boil.
  4. With the food processor running, slowly pour the hot cream mixture through the feed tube. Process until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur and 1 tablespoon of vodka. Process until well blended.
  6. Pour the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  7. After chilling, shape the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll the chocolate balls in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  9. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let them stand at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
