Chocolate Amaretto Truffles

Print Recipe

Decadent and creamy chocolate truffles infused with Amaretto liqueur, coated in cocoa powder or minced almonds for a rich, elegant treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1.5 ounces Amaretto liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup minced almonds

Instructions

  1. Add the chopped chocolate to a medium-sized heatproof bowl and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer (about 10 minutes), then immediately remove from heat.
  3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and whisk until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Stir in the Amaretto and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours until firm.
  6. Use a small or medium cookie scoop to form 1-inch spheres from the chilled mixture.
  7. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or minced almonds to coat.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For easier rolling, lightly dust your hands with cocoa powder or spray with a little oil to prevent sticking. You can vary coatings by using sprinkles or chopped nuts. These truffles are best served chilled.
