Chef 101 Humpday: Chocolate Truffles

November 17, 2010 by evebushman

This is second in a series of old fave recipes I kind of forgot about and now my husband Eddie has demanded asked me to make again.  As I recall this one was an incredible mess, but a tasty, sticky, well-worth it one that I got from Cosmopolitan magazine…back in the day.

Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients:
1 pound semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange rind
1/4 cup cocoa
a splash of Grand Marnier, added a little at a time, if desired.
Directions:
Place chocolate chips in a large bowl and set aside.  In sauce pan heat cream to a full boil.  Pour over chocolate and stir until melted.  Add orange and a little Grand Marnier.
Chill in refrigerator until set – about one hour. 
Now, here comes the sticky part,  roll into balls* and dust with cocoa, refrigerate again until ready to serve.  Makes about 3 dozen.
*I found that in the rolling process the chocolate would melt again just from the heat in my hands.  Sometimes I put the bowl back in the fridge again to re-harden.  Sometimes I just worked as quickly as I could.  And I bitched a lot.
Big. Friggin. Mess.
I will save making this for when Eddie is tackling the turkey this year, as it takes just as much effort and I want full credit for doing the work!  And pair it with several swipes off of the Grand Marnier bottle, some recipes require some sedation.
