5-Ingredient Whiskey Dark Chocolate Truffles at home

5-Ingredient Whiskey Dark Chocolate Truffles at home is a dessert recipe on Avoteb. Plan on 25 minutes from start to plate. The amounts and the method are both on this page.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dark chocolate, finely chopped (or chocolate chips)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup whiskey
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • optional: unsweetened cocoa powder or sprinkles for rolling

Method

  1. Tip in chocolate, heavy cream and butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Warm in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in whiskey and sea salt, and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until completely chilled.

  2. Lift from the refrigerator, and use a small cookie scoop (or a mellon baller or spoon) to shape the truffles into your desired size and shape, rolling between your hands quickly to smooth out the edges into a ball if needed. Roll each ball in a bowl of cocoa powder or sprinkles if desired. Then move to a serving place or storage container, and repeat with the remaining truffles.

  3. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week. (These truffles are best served chilled, so that they hold their shape better.)

  4. Tip in chocolate, heavy cream and butter to a medium saucepan. Warm over a medium burner, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in whiskey and sea salt, and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until completely chilled.
