Ingredients
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Baileys
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Coating options pick one or mix and match:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Toasted shredded coconut see notes below
- Chocolate sprinkles
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.
