Ice Wine Truffles

By bakeaholic

This is a super easy recipe for truffles - there's no dipping or moulding involved! Ice wine and chocolate are a sweet combination, but you can substitute other liqueurs if you don't have a bottle of ice wine open.

Ingredients

• 6 oz. good quality bittersweet chocolate (180 g.)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp. ice wine
• Good quality cocoa powder for rolling

Preparation

Step 1

1. Chop the chocolate finely and transfer to a medium bowl. Boil cream and immediately pour over chocolate. Stir until all chocolate has melted. Stir in ice wine until blended. Cover surface with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
2. Scoop into small balls with a melon baller and transfer to a baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes. Roll truffles in cocoa powder. Keep frozen.
