Categories     dessert

Time 1h53m

Yield 60 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound good bittersweet chocolate such as Lindt
1/2 pound good semisweet chocolate such as Ghiradelli
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, optional
1 tablespoon prepared coffee
1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar
Cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolates finely with a sharp knife. Place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just boils. Turn off the heat and allow the cream to sit for 20 seconds. Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with chocolate. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the Grand Marnier, if using, coffee, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • With 2 teaspoons, spoon round balls of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm. Roll each dollop of chocolate in your hands to roughly make a round ball. Roll in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, or both. These will keep refrigerated for weeks, but serve at room temperature.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 4h45m

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (a scant 2/3 cup)
3 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
White, pink, and red sprinkles, for rolling

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring condensed milk, butter, and cream to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until butter melts. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens slightly and turns pale golden, 4 to 6 minutes (do not let it get too dark, or mixture will separate). Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add chocolate, cocoa powder, and vanilla, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth and combined. Transfer to a pie dish or a wide, shallow bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of chocolate mixture into your palm and roll into a ball. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; repeat with remaining mixture. Place sprinkles in bowls (onefor each color). Roll truffles in sprinkles until thoroughly coated. Place in paper mini baking cups and serve, or store in refrigerator, covered, up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use the best quality chocolate you can afford. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the truffles.
  • Make sure the mascarpone is cold before using it. This will help the truffles set up properly.
  • Don't overmix the truffle mixture. Overmixing will make the truffles tough.
  • Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before rolling them in cocoa powder. This will help them hold their shape.
  • If you want to make the truffles ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These chocolate mascarpone truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime you need a special dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these truffles that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these chocolate mascarpone truffles a try. You won't be disappointed.
