Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 lb dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Coating

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for rolling the truffles)

Instructions

  1. Combine Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe large bowl, place the finely chopped dark chocolate, heavy cream, and butter.
  2. Microwave and Stir: Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring very well after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
  3. Add Baileys and Salt: Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream and sea salt thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  5. Scoop and Shape: Using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop equal portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into smooth balls with your hands.
  6. Roll in Cocoa Powder: Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a bowl and roll each truffle ball in the powder to coat evenly. Then, place each coated truffle into small cupcake liners for presentation.
  7. Repeat: Continue scooping, shaping, and rolling until all the mixture is used up.
  8. Serve and Store: For best flavor and texture, keep the truffles refrigerated in an airtight container and serve them chilled. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored for several days.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate if preferred for a slightly sweeter truffle.
  • If you don’t have a microwave, melt the chocolate and butter slowly over a double boiler.
  • For a festive touch, try rolling some truffles in crushed nuts or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
  • Make sure to refrigerate well before scooping to make shaping easier.
