How to Make Chocolate Truffles With Liqueur
- Melt 8 ounces (225g) of high-quality dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using medium-low power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth. (Total time may vary depending on your microwave).
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons (30g) of unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
- Add 1 large egg yolk and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur (adjust to taste) and 2 tablespoons (20g) of powdered sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- Once firm, roll the mixture into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
- Roll each truffle in 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder to coat evenly.
- Place the truffles in mini paper or foil cups.
- If the mixture becomes too soft during shaping, return it to the refrigerator to firm up.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to allow them to come to room temperature.
