How to Make Port Wine Lover's Truffle's

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream over moderate heat until it simmers gently around the edges.
Add 12 ounces (340g) of high-quality dark chocolate, chopped, and 4 tablespoons (57g) of unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.
Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) ruby port wine until well combined.
At this point, you can either pour the mixture into small glasses and chill, or pour it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate or freeze until firm (at least 2-3 hours).
Once firm, using a spoon, mini ice cream scoop, melon baller, or powdered sugar-dusted hands, gently roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
Refrigerate or freeze the truffle centers until completely hard (at least 1 hour).
Melt 6 ounces (170g) of your favorite chocolate for dipping. Dip the chilled truffle centers using a dipping fork or by hand. Alternatively, roll the centers in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder. Place on parchment paper to set.
If using a truffle mold, create the chocolate shell and fill with the truffle mixture. Cover the bottom with melted chocolate before setting. Enjoy!
