1 place chocolates i a small sauce pan. Bring cream just to a boil then pour over chocalates. Whisk until smooth. Still in Amaretto and vanilla. Let cool to room temp. stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hrs. - until easy to handle.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cocoa. Shape the chocolate mixture into 1 inch balls. Store in an airtight containers.
Oh my, thank you Sheena for posting this recipe. And it calls for one of my favorite liquors--amaretto. You say add the amaretto to the mix--how about a little shot glass of it in the cook while she's making it?
I make cake. Layer cake. Sheet cake. Yellow cake. Genoise. Almond cake. Coffee cake. Chocolate cake, with or without flour. The flourless one is probably the most requested. My favorite is the classic 1-2-3-4 yellow cake.
Those who make truffles - what kind of chocolate do you use?? Does it need to be really good expensive chocolate? I feel like some of those high end cooking chocolate bars are more expensive than the store-bought truffles...
I use anything that's at least 70% cocoa. Doesn't have to be expensive though, I often use Lidl chocolate.
One of my very favorite things is to receive home baked goods! I have gotten better at my baking over the years. Instead of trying many things, I have perfected a few and people seem to enjoy them as gifts:
Pumpkin raisin muffins
Cherry and white chocolate chip cookies
Apple bars
Depends on the person -- it's all about personalization, which is why I'd be baking it myself in the first place.
If it's an adult, some type of muffins or pound cake. If it's a child, then brownies or cupcakes. I even have recipes up my sleeve for the super health-conscious (and no, they don't taste like cardboard! ).
