Yield Makes about 30.Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whipping cream
1 tablespoon brandy
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons ground toasted hazelnuts
1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • Place chocolate in medium metal bowl. Bring cream to simmer in small saucepan. Pour over chocolate; let stand 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Mix in brandy and vanilla. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat chocolate mixture until fluffy and lighter in color, about 4 minutes. Mix in 6 tablespoons ground hazelnuts. Cover and refrigerate truffle mixture until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Line baking sheet with waxed paper. Place 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts in another medium bowl. Fill glass with hot water. Dip 1-inch-diameter melon baller into water, then into truffle mixture, forming round truffle. Drop truffle into nuts; roll to coat completely and press to adhere. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining truffle mixture and nuts. Cover and chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.)

These truffles were a bit too rich for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter chocolate, or maybe even a white chocolate. The hazelnuts were a nice touch, though.

I found these truffles to be a bit too sweet. I would have preferred a darker chocolate, or maybe even a semi-sweet chocolate. The hazelnuts were a nice addition, though.

These truffles were easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a mixture of dark and milk chocolate, and they were both delicious. The hazelnuts added a nice nutty flavor.
