Delicious Irish cream truffles.

Suprisingly, Truffles really arnt that difficult or complex to make,
and they are the perfect delicasie for tea times and also
make a really good personalised pressy if packaged well.


Just learn from my mistake, and dont take them on the plane- they melt and
dont look half as good as when they were first put in the jar !

Ingredients:
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream

Directions:
Melt chocolate, Baileys and heavy cream together over very low heat. Whisk in yolks, one at a time; mixture will thicken. Whisk in butter.

Refrigerate overnight, or until firm. With spoon make small balls. Roll in powdered sugar, cocoa, chopped nuts, sprinkles, etc

Truffles I made for a special friend !

This is candy making, truffles have that smooth creamy chocolate center.

 Once the chocolate is melted and incorporated with the

heavy cream and Baileys, whisk in the yolks,

so basically whisk in one yolk until it is incorporated,

then whisk in the other until it is incorporated.

You see it is getting thicker as you go this after the second yolk is in,

just let it sit for 1-2 minutes and then add the butter.

Let the center firm up, so overnight is the best.
