How to Make Rich Scottish Truffles

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, gently melt 8 ounces of high-quality dark chocolate, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of Drambuie liqueur. Mix well to combine.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow, wide bowl. This will help it cool and set faster.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the chocolate mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  5. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out rounded portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls. If the mixture is too soft, return it to the refrigerator for a short time.
  6. Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to allow them to firm up further.
  7. Roll the chilled truffles in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated.
  8. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
