Cognac-Laced Truffles
Recipe Type: Candy,
Chocolate,
Cream,
Cocoa Powder
Yields: 42 truffles
Prep time: 30 min<
Ingredients:
1/4 cup cognac
1/2
heavy cream
11 ounces semi-sweet
chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
1 ounce unsweetened
chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup
powdered (confectioners') sugar
Chocolate Coating:
2 tablespoons unsweetened
cocoa powder
2 tablespoons powdered (confectioners') sugar
Preparation:
Line two (2) baking sheets lined with waxed paper.
Heat cognac in a small saucepan just to simmering. Remove from heat. Add cream and
then bring just to a simmer again; remove from heat.
Place all the chocolate (semi-sweet, white, and
unsweetened) and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar in a food processor and whirl 1 to 2 minutes or until
finely chopped. With machine running, add hot cream mixture in a steady stream.
Process until smooth. Scrape into a medium-size bowl. Refrigerate just until
thick enough to hold shape, about 1 hour.
After refrigerating, drop chocolate mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared
baking sheets. With your hands, quickly shape into balls. (Refrigerate to firm
while working if necessary.) Place chocolate truffle balls in the freezer for 30 minutes
to firm up.
Prepare Chocolate Coating: Sift cocoa powder and
confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. Add chocolate truffle balls, three (3) at a time; toss to coat.
Refrigerate in airtight containers up to 1 month. Serve at room temperature.
Yields 42 truffles.
