Boozy Dark Chocolate & Orange Truffles
- 2 2/3 cups dark chocolate
- 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 5 3/8 tablespoons cream Thickened
- 5 3/8 tablespoons cointreau
- 3 3/8 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- cacao powder for dusting
- Place all the ingredients in a large heatproof bowl and place over a pan of simmering water. Stir constantly until all has melted and combined into gooey, chocolatey awesomeness.
- Place in the refrigerator and allow to cool completely (3 to 4 hours but up to 6 is preferred)
- Remove from the refrigerator. With a teaspoon/ melon baller/ cookie dough scoop or similar, scoop out the desired amount of truffle and roll between your hands to form a ball. Roll in the cacao powder and place on a plate or container.
- Can be enjoyed immediately (it is best to serve them whilst chilled otherwise they melt and become gooey and sticky - not a completely terrible situation but not quite the desired effect) or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
