- 200 ml (7 fl oz (1/3 pint)) double cream
- 25 g (1oz) butter
- 200 g (7oz) 70% cocoa dark chocolate, chopped
- 100 g (3 1/2oz) milk chocolate, chopped
- 5 Tbsp. Baileys
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 100 g (3 1/2oz) white chocolate, chopped
- 25 g (1oz) cocoa powder
- Step 1
Gently heat the double cream in a pan until just steaming (don’t boil), remove from the heat and add butter and 100g (3 ½oz) each milk and dark chocolate. Set aside for a minute to melt, then mix until just combined.
- Step 2
Finally stir in the vanilla and Baileys until combined and smooth. Pour into baking tray, cover with cling film, cool and chill until firm – about 4hr. Take teaspoonfuls of the mixture and roll into balls, chill for 30min to firm up.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, melt the remaining chocolate in separate bowls and leave until cool, but still melted. Once the truffles are firm, spear with a cocktail stick and coat in the chocolates or roll in cocoa powder to fully coat. Transfer to a tray lined with baking parchment. Chill until set.
