How to Make Chocolate Liqueur Truffles

  1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
  3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
  4. Whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy. Stir in the chocolate liqueur and softened butter until fully incorporated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ganache to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
  6. Once firm, using a spoon or small cookie scoop, roll the chocolate mixture into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Dust the truffles generously with cocoa powder. Alternatively, garnish with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt.
  8. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow them to set completely before serving.
