Tiramisu Truffles image

The most exquisite truffle I've ever made. I've just discovered a new liqueur called Tiramisu and it enhances so many of my desserts. This recipe is very easy, and the outcome is a crowd pleaser.

Time 25m

Yield 18 truffles, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 ounces good bittersweet chocolate
3 1/2 ounces good semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons tiramisu liqueur (from liquor store)
1 tablespoon brewed coffee
1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract
ghiradelli ground chocolate, and
cocoa (for rolling)

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolates and place in a bowl.
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it boils. Immediately pour the hot cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with the chocolates. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. (If the chocolate doesn't melt completely, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir for a few minutes just until it melts.) Whisk in the Tiramisu liqueur, coffee and vanilla. Cover and chill for 45 minutes to 1 hour until pliable but firm enough to scoop.
  • With 2 teaspoons or a 1 1/4 inch ice cream scoop, make the dollops of the chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until firm enough to roll into rough spheres. Roll the chocolate in the Ground Chocolate/Cocoa and chill again. Refrigerate overnight for best result.
