Cooking Time 5 minutes
Makes 20 truffles


Ingredients
• 5 1/2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp. liqueur of your choice (e.g. Kahlua, Grand Marnier)
• 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted


Directions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate and cream over low heat until the chocolate is just melted, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and add the liqueur. Pour the mixture into a clean bowl and let cool completely, then refrigerate about 30 minutes until firm.
