Equipment

  • baking tray
  • saucepan

Ingredients

  • 360 grams milk chocolate (separate into 125 grams, 210 grams and 25 grams)
  • 170 grams white chocolate (separate into 145 grams and 25 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream
  • ¼ cup thickened cream (60 ml)
  • 25 grams butter

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking tray by lining with baking paper.
  • Place cream, butter, Baileys, 145 grams white chocolate and 125 grams milk chocolate into a saucepan.
  • Place over low heat and stir with a whisk until butter has melted and mixture becomes smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl and place in fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Roll mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon of mixture) and place on baking tray. Place tray into fridge for about half an hour. Remove tray from fridge and re-roll if balls have flattened. Place into fridge again for about 30 minutes.
  • Once balls are chilled and holding their shape, melt the 210 gram milk chocolate (in the microwave using 20 second bursts, checking and stirring after each burst).
  • Using a spoon and fork, dip balls into melted chocolate and let excess chocolate drizzle off before placing back on baking tray.
  • Melt 25 grams milk chocolate and 25 grams white chocolate together and stir to combine. Spoon into a small plastic ziplock bag and squeeze chocolate into one corner. Snip the very end off that corner and drizzle chocolate over the balls. Place in fridge until chocolate has set.

Notes

Freezing: Freeze truffles (wrapped or in an airtight container) for a month or two. Remove from the freezer and allow to defrost before consuming.
