How to Make Kahlua Truffles

  1. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Add 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Kahlua. Return the mixture to the double boiler for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and beat in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully combined.
  5. Continue beating until the mixture becomes light and airy.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the truffles to firm up.
  7. Once firm, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll the truffles in your choice of chopped nuts, unsweetened cocoa powder, or sprinkles.
  8. Refrigerate the truffles until ready to serve.
  9. For longer storage, truffles can be frozen for up to 3 months.
