How To Make Gourmet Chocolate Truffles
There is no mystery to why gourmet truffles taste so good - all you have to do is use the best chocolate. Despite being decadently delicious, truffles are actually easy and quick to make.
Dark Chocolate Truffles (and Easy Variations)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons liqueur (choose any flavor: orange, coffee, black current, raspberry, etc) (Tip: if you are making chocolate-orange truffles, add 1 teaspoon orange zest.)
