How to Make Rich Irish Cream Truffles
- In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Add 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, and 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped. Whisk constantly until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks lightly. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture to temper the yolks.
- Pour the tempered yolks into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the remaining 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, and 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped, along with 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- In a medium shallow bowl, sift 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop the chocolate mixture and drop it into the cocoa powder. Gently roll to coat completely.
- Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and roll in cocoa powder again to ensure even coating.
- Carefully place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up completely.
