The perfect hedonist dessert is one chocolate truffle, followed by one more. Though these look fancy, they're actually quite simple to prepare.

Time 20m

Yield 16 to 18 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt
2 drops vanilla extract
1 tablespoon bourbon
Cocoa powder
1/2 cup toasted crushed pecans, pistachios or hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Set a stainless steel mixing bowl over a pan of boiling water to make a double boiler. Put chocolate, cream and salt in bowl and heat until chocolate is completely melted, about 15 minutes.
  • Add vanilla and bourbon and whisk thoroughly, until mixture is smooth and shiny. Pour into a pie plate or baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Use a melon baller or soup spoon to make rough 1/2-ounce spheres. Roll between cocoa-dusted palms, then in crushed nuts. Refrigerate, but don't serve them ice cold; remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.

These truffles are really boozy! If you're not a fan of bourbon, you might want to use less of it.

I had a little trouble getting the truffles to set properly, but I think that was my fault. Overall, I'm really happy with how they turned out.

I love that these truffles are made with real bourbon. It gives them a much better flavor than truffles made with artificial flavoring.
