Indulgent whiskey-infused chocolate truffles - perfect for gifting to your favorite spirits enthusiast. Easy to make and store, a decadent treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Irish whiskey
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
Instructions:
  • Warm the cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it simmers at around 180°F. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl big enough for both the chocolate and cream.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate to create a luscious ganache. Allow the mixture to rest for five minutes to meld flavors perfectly.
  • Combine the cream and chocolate until smooth and glossy. Gently mix in the whiskey until fully incorporated.
  • Refrigerate the bowl for at least one hour until it becomes firm.
  • Prepare the coating and baking sheet: Fill a small, deep mixing bowl with the cocoa powder and set aside. Place a piece of parchment on a half size sheet pan and set aside.
  • Take the chilled ganache out of the refrigerator. Use a small spoon or a #100 disher to scoop out portions onto parchment paper. Roll each truffle quickly between your palms to form round balls. If they become too soft, roll in small batches and chill between each batch. Aim for a rustic round shape, no need for perfection.
  • After rolling the balls, gently toss each one in cocoa powder using a fork to coat evenly. Shake off any excess cocoa powder before placing the truffle on parchment paper. Repeat until all truffles are coated. If your kitchen is warm, coat in smaller batches and keep the rest chilled in the fridge.
  • Keep fresh: Arrange the truffles between parchment paper in a sealed container, then refrigerate for two weeks or freeze for six months.
