Best Chocolate Bourbon Truffles Recipes

BOURBON PECAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just comes to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir once to mix the chocolate and cream together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Uncover and whisk until smooth and shiny. Microwave in 10 second increments if there are any un-melted lumps of chocolate. Stir in the bourbon.
• Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the chocolate and set aside in a cool place until the chocolate is thick and firm enough to hold its shape when rolled, about 2 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Use 2 spoons to drop small mounds of chocolate onto the baking sheet. Then, with cold hands, roll each truffle between your open palms to make smooth round balls. You may need to run your hands under cool water frequently as you work.
• Put the pecans on a plate and roll each truffle until well coated. Refrigerate until very cold.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT BOURBON TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the coconut milk to a simmer, 6 to 8 minutes. While the coconut milk heats, set a heatproof bowl over the top of the saucepan and add the chocolate chips. Once the coconut milk comes to a simmer, remove from the heat, carefully pour the coconut milk over the chocolate chips and let sit for one minute. Stir with a silicone spatula until smooth and melted. Stir in the bourbon and coconut extract.
• Pour the mixture into an 8-by-8-inch glass dish in an even layer. Gently tap to release any air bubbles. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool and set up, about 2 hours.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and sprinkle with the cocoa powder. Use a 1-tablespoon scoop to portion the truffles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and roll to coat in the cocoa powder. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

EASY CHOCOLATE BOURBON TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat. Heat, stirring, until melted and smooth; remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla, bourbon, and 1/2 to 3/4 cup pecans. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until mixture is firm.
• Working with fingertips, shape into 1-inch balls; roll in finely chopped pecans, sugar, or unsweetened cocoa. Place on a tray or baking sheet, cover loosely, and chill for at least 1 hour. If desired, put each truffle in a decorative fluted paper or foil cup and keep in tightly covered container in the refrigerator until giving or serving. Keep these refrigerated, tightly covered.
