Italian Chocolate Truffles
These are flavoured with almonds and chocolate, and are simplicity itself to make. Served with coffee, they are the perfect end to a meal.
Ingredients
- 6 oz dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp almond-flavoured liqueur amaretto or orange-flavoured liqueur
- 1 1/2 oz unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 oz icing confectioners' sugar
- 1 3/4 oz ground almonds
- 1 3/4 oz grated milk chocolate
Instructions
- Melt the dark chocolate with the liqueur in a bowl set over a saucepan of hot water, stirring until well combined.
- Add the butter and stir until it has melted. Stir in the icing (confectioners') sugar and the ground almonds.
- Leave the mixture in a cool place until firm enough to roll into 24 balls.
- Place the grated chocolate on a plate and roll the truffles in the chocolate to coat them.
- Place the truffles in paper sweet (candy) cases and chill.
