Ingredients

165g heavy whipping cream
250g dark chocolate
30g brandy OR latte macchiato liqueur OR Pina Colada liqueur
Orange truffles-omit liqueur, add 2 drops orange essential oil

Directions

Bring the cream to a full boil.
Pour over chocolate and stir to melt.
Stir in flavor.
Chill until firm enough to scoop using a #100 scoop.
After scooping, use gloved hands to roll each truffle quickly into a round ball. They will not be perfect.
If they soften up, chill again until firm.

Finishing Ideas

Roll brandy truffles in Dutched cocoa.
Roll mocha truffles in a combination of powdered sugar and espresso powder.
For Pina Colada, roll in unsweetened coconut.
For orange truffles, roll in powdered sugar.

Punky’s Tips

Each recipe makes about 40 truffles using a #100 scoop.
Keep truffles refrigerated for a week or freeze for a month. Bring to room temperature to serve.
