Servings: 24

Yield: 2 dozen truffles

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream

¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur

Directions

Step 1

Whisk heavy cream and sugar together in a small saucepan over
medium heat. Heat until the edges of the cream show fine bubbles
but mixture does not boil, allowing sugar to dissolve. Remove from

heat.

Step 2

Whisk butter, chocolate chips, and Irish cream into cream mixture
until butter and chocolate chips are melted. Cool to room
temperature.

Step 3

Scoop up the chocolate mixture about 1 tablespoon at a time and roll

into a 1-inch ball; set truffles on a plate.

Step 4

Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Cook's note:

Whip the chocolate mixture to create a lighter truffle.
