BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM CHOCOLATE
TRUFFLES
 
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 c heavy cream
1 T butter
2 egg yolks

Melt chocolate over very low heat. Stir in Bailey's and cream.

Beat egg yolks, stir a small amount of chocolate mixture into eggs, then slowly add the eggs to the chocolate mixture. Mixture will thicken. Add butter.

Refrigerate overnight, or several hours.

Using two large spoons or a small ice cream scoop, form small balls.

Roll in powdered sugar, then cocoa. The brand of cocoa with chocolate bits works nicely.

I've made these truffles four or five times, and they always turn out beautifully. I use 12 semisweet squares, and sometimes use Amaretto instead of Baileys. I also roll them in coconut. They're always a hit!

Is there a way to make it without raw egg?

Hi Mrs. Cooper,

If you have concerns about using raw egg, purchase pasteurized eggs in a carton at the supermarket. Or read further about Pasteurization of Eggs.

Hope this helps,

Love this recipe. Adding tempered eggs to warm chocolate COOKS the egg yolks. No need for any further cooking.
