5 from 3 reviews

These Baileys truffles are rich, creamy chocolate bites made with a silky dark chocolate ganache infused with Baileys Irish Cream. The mixture chills until firm enough to scoop and roll, then each truffle is coated in cocoa powder for a classic finish. The result is a smooth, decadent chocolate treat with a hint of boozy warmth that makes them perfect for holiday gifting, dessert trays, or a cozy after-dinner indulgence.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Loads of Truffles

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 11oz Good Quality Dark Chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/3 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1/4 cup Dutch Process Cocoa Powder

Instructions

  1. Place some water into a large saucepan over medium heat and place a large heat-proof bowl on top of the saucepan not letting the water touch the bowl. You are creating a make-shift double broiler.
  2. Put chocolate, butter, and cream in the bowl. Let sit for a few minutes without touching. Remove from heat and whisk until fully combined. Let sit for 15 minutes to cool off.
  3. Add Bailey's to the chocolate mixture and whisk until incorporated.
  4. Pour mixture into a shallow dish, cover, and set in the fridge for 2 1/2- 3 hours to set.
  5. Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller to scoop the truffle mixture. If the mixture has chilled for too long it might need to sit at room temperature to make it easier to roll. Place the balls on a wax paper-lined tray.  Once all scooped roll truffles into balls and roll in cocoa powder or melted chocolate. Store in a cool environment, I prefer the fridge.
