I made these one year and gave them as Christmas gifts. They were the most popular presents I ever gave! I can't remember yield and times exactly now so they are a guess with cook time being chill time. Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups whipping cream |
1/2 cup real butter (no substitute) |
8 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped |
1 1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon liqueur |
12 -18 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or 12 -18 ounces milk chocolate chips |
2 -3 tablespoons shortening |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1/4 teaspoon milk |
Directions:
1. In saucepan, combine whipping cream & butter.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture boils; remove from heat. Stir in chocolates until melted; continue stirring until mixture cools & thickens slightly.
3. Stir in vanilla.
4. Pour into shallow glass dish.
5. Cover; chill until firm.
6. With spoon scoop mixture into 1 inch balls.
7. Coating Melt chocolate & shortening over low heat; stirring constantly.
8. (use 1 Tbsp of shortening for every 6 oz. of chocolate).
9. When mixture is smooth remove from heat. Dip each truffle into coating.
10. (I found dr opping them in the chocolate & then fishing them out with a spoon worked best. But work quickly or they will melt) Then either place them on foil or in foil candy papers & allow to harden.
11. Mix powdered sugar & milk.
12. Drizzle over truffles in various designs.
