Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Baileys I used Chocolate Baileys
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Coating options (pick one or mix and match):

Instructions
 

  • Heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe jug for 30–45 seconds, until hot and just starting to steam but not boiling.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  • Stir slowly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the Chocolate Baileys, softened butter, salt, and vanilla. Stir until everything is fully combined and smooth.
  • If the butter does not melt completely or the mixture becomes too thick, microwave the ganache for 5–10 seconds and stir again.
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  • Scoop small portions and roll between your palms to form balls.
  • If the mixture becomes too soft while rolling, refrigerate for 10 minutes and continue.
  • Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or toasted coconut, or dip them in melted chocolate and let set.

Notes

If making your own toasted coconut follow these instructions:
Toasted coconut coating (quick method):
  • Spread coconut on a dry skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Stir often for 3–5 minutes until golden.
  • Cool completely before rolling truffles.
  • If you want a finer coating, pulse the toasted coconut in a blender for 10-20 seconds.
