Use your food processor to mix these decadent chocolate candies. They're made with three kinds of chocolate--semisweet, bittersweet, and unsweetened--and dusted with cocoa powder.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons almond-flavored liqueur (such as Amaretto) or your favorite flavor
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 2/3 cup confectioners sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick foil, leaving a small overhang on two sides. Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper. Heat cream and liqueur in a small saucepan just to simmer.
2. Process chocolates and confectioners sugar in food processor
1 to 2 minutes, until finely chopped. With machine running, add
cream-liqueur mixture in steady stream. Process until smooth. Scrape
into foil-lined pan. Refrigerate just until thick enough to hold shape, 1
to 1-1/2 hours.
3. Lift chocolate from pan using foil. Cut
chocolate into 36 pieces. With hands, quickly shape into balls. Place on
waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Reroll truffles
to smooth out surface, if needed.
4. Sift cocoa into small bowl. Add truffles, three at a time; tossing to coat. Refrigerate in airtight containers
up to 1 month, placing each in a small paper or foil candy cup, if
desired. Note: Look for paper candy cups at confectioneryhouse.com.
