Easy Chocolate Truffles

20 oz              Semisweet Chocolate

8 oz                 Heavy Whipping Cream

1 tbsp             Unsalted Butter

1/4 tsp            Kosher Salt

2-3 tbsp          Amaretto, Orange or Almond Flavored Liqueur

1 c                   Cocoa Powder for coating

In a double boiler melt chocolate, heavy cream and unsalted butter, stirring slowly until smooth. If using a sauce pan, place heat on medium-low to melt the mixture carefully not burn.

Remove from heat then stir in the salt and liqueur. Cool mixture and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 inch in size, or a small spoon), scoop the mixture into balls and gently and quickly shape with hands (chocolate will met with your body heat, so work quickly) and then roll truffles in the cocoa powder.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy!
