Yield Makes about 30.Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whipping cream
1 tablespoon brandy
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons ground toasted hazelnuts
1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • Place chocolate in medium metal bowl. Bring cream to simmer in small saucepan. Pour over chocolate; let stand 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Mix in brandy and vanilla. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat chocolate mixture until fluffy and lighter in color, about 4 minutes. Mix in 6 tablespoons ground hazelnuts. Cover and refrigerate truffle mixture until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Line baking sheet with waxed paper. Place 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts in another medium bowl. Fill glass with hot water. Dip 1-inch-diameter melon baller into water, then into truffle mixture, forming round truffle. Drop truffle into nuts; roll to coat completely and press to adhere. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining truffle mixture and nuts. Cover and chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.)

I had some trouble getting the truffles to set properly. I'm not sure if I didn't chill them long enough or if I used the wrong type of chocolate.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try making them with a darker chocolate next time.

I was a bit skeptical about making my own truffles, but these were surprisingly easy. They turned out beautifully and tasted even better.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I'm not a great baker, but these were a breeze. Definitely going to make them again.

I've made these truffles several times and they're always perfect. They're the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, and the hazelnuts add a nice crunch.
