INSTRUCTIONS
Chop 12 ounces chocolate into chunks. Place chocolate pieces in a food
processor with a metal blade and process until the chocolate is finely
chopped. Bring cream to a boil. With food processor running, add cream to
chocolate and process until cream is completely incorporated. With
processor still running, add liqueur and process until incorporated.
Refrigerate chocolate mixture until thoroughly chilled.
Using powdered sugar on your hands to prevent the chocolate from sticking,
roll teaspoonsful of the chocolate mixture into balls. Refrigerate again
until chilled.
Melt 1 pound chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Allow chocolate to
cool to about 90 degrees F. Take each chocolate ball and dip it in the
melted chocolate. Place the chocolate ball in the cocoa to coat.
Refrigerate once again.
Store truffles in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow to
rise to room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.

“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. #C.S. Lewis”
