- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, chopped

- Using a wire whisk, slowly stir the white chocolate into the warm cream until completely melted.
- Whisk in the Baileys and vanilla.
- Cover and chill for one hour or until pliable but firm enough to scoop.
- With two teaspoons or a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, make 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.
- Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
- Drizzle the melted bittersweet chocolate over the truffles.
- Chill until ready to serve.
