How to Make Truffes Au Paprika Deviled Chocolate Truffles

  1. In a small bowl, warm 1 tablespoon of armagnac and soak 1 cup pitted and roughly chopped prunes until softened (approximately 30 minutes).
  2. Melt 12 ounces of high-quality dark chocolate (minimum 70% cacao) in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and immediately pour into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly until completely combined and smooth.
  4. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  5. Finely chop the softened prunes. Add the prunes and any remaining armagnac from the soaking liquid to the cooled chocolate mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
  7. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  8. Using a small spoon or melon baller, roll the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each truffle in the cocoa-paprika mixture until fully coated.
  9. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
