Chocolate Truffles With Liqueur
Decadent chocolate truffles, made even more sinful with the addition of your favourite liqueur. The yield will depend on how small you roll the truffles; i get at least 15 usually.
Steps
In microwave using medium-low power , melt chocolate in a medium-sized bowl-- the length of time this will take will depend on the strength of your microwave , but expect it to take at least 1 minute.
Whisk in butter and egg yolk until blended.
Then whisk in liqueur and icing sugar until smooth.
Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to shape , about 1 hour.
Shape mixture into small balls , roll balls in cocoa , then place in tiny foil or paper cups.
The above will be a messy job on your hands-- they will get quite chocolatey.
If mixture gets too soft , return it to the fridge to stiffen up again.
Keep truffles refrigerated in a covered container.
Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off them.
