How to Make Chocolate Truffles With Liqueur

  1. 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).
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons (30g) of unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
  3. Add 1 large egg yolk and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur (adjust to taste) and 2 tablespoons (20g) of powdered sugar until well combined and smooth.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  6. Once firm, roll the mixture into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Roll each truffle in 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder to coat evenly.
  8. Place the truffles in mini paper or foil cups.
  9. If the mixture becomes too soft during shaping, return it to the refrigerator to firm up.
  10. 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.
