Truffles

 

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (or dark rum, Kahlua, Amaretto, etc.)

6 ounces German's Sweet Chocolate

4 tablespons sweet butter, softened

powdered unsweetened cocoa

 

1. Boil cream in a small heavy pan until reduced to 2 tablespoons.

Remove from heat, stir in liqueur and chocolate, and return to low heat.

Stir until chocolate melts.

 

2. Whisk in softened butter. When mixture is smooth, pour into a

shallow bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 40 minutes.

 

3. Scoop chocolate up with a teaspoon and shape into rough 1-inch balls.

(Perhaps a melon ball (?) or a small ice cream scoop may be useful???)

 

Roll the truffle balls in the unsweetened cocoa.

 

4. Store truffles, covered, in the refrigerator. Let truffles stand at

room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
