Truffles: Easy Chocolate Truffles




Source of Recipe


Denise Thompson


Recipe Introduction


"Denise Thompson, co-owner of Johnstown, Pennsylvania's Back Door Café -- an outstanding restaurant that truly merits going out of your way for. These truffles are so easy and so good. At the restaurant, Denise keeps a quart container of truffle mixture in the refrigerator and makes dessert plates to order."



List of Ingredients




2 pounds of Belgian chocolate (or any brand of good quality chocolate)
one quart of heavy cream
1/4 lb. unsalted butter
1/3 C liqueur of choice

cocoa powder




Recipe



Melt chocolate and cream over a double boiler. Whisk in butter and liqueur. Continue to whisk as the mixture cools and thickens. Pour into quart containers and refrigerate. To serve, scoop out with melon baller, roll in powdered cocoa.


Serves 4 (just kidding.... this makes over 2lbs. of truffles, but they are incredibly addictive)
