Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe image

These homemade chocolate truffles are extra creamy with the addition of butter. After mixing the ingredients together, let the mixture set in the refrigerator, then roll into balls. You can coat in your favorite toppings and add lots of fun flavors, too! The mixture gets a little sticky, so refer back to my tips in the blog post above.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

two 4-ounce quality chocolate bars (226g), very finely chopped*
2/3 cup (160ml) heavy cream*
optional: 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
optional: 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
toppings: unsweetened cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, melted or tempered chocolate

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the heavy cream until it is simmering. You can heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Add the butter, if using, to the chocolate and pour the heavy cream evenly on top. Let the warm cream and chocolate sit for 5 minutes minutes. Add the vanilla extract then stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (to avoid condensation) and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Tip: Pour into a flat shallow dish, such as a 8×8 inch baking pan, so the mixture evenly and quickly sets.
  • Scoop the set truffle mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds. This cookie scoop is the perfect size. For larger truffles, 1 Tablespoon size mounds. Roll each into balls. This gets a little sticky, so see my tips above.
  • Roll each into toppings, if desired. Truffles taste best at room temperature!
  • Cover tightly and store truffles at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the Amarula cream and chocolate chips gently.
  • Make sure the chocolate mixture has cooled completely before you stir in the liqueur. If the mixture is too warm, the liqueur will evaporate and lose its flavor.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate mixture by dropping a small amount of it into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
  • To make the truffles easier to roll, chill the chocolate mixture for at least 30 minutes before you start shaping them.
  • If you want to decorate the truffles, you can roll them in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

Amarula cream truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make homemade gift. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a truly special gift that will be enjoyed by all.
