Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring Cups
- 1 ½ Tablespoon Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 150 grams almond flour about 1 ¼ cup
- 120 grams cocoa powder about 1 cup
- 4 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 275 grams dark chocolate melts or bar, high quality (about 1 ½ cups)
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside (note: you want one that will fit in your freezer).
- Make truffle mixture by whisking together almond flour and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Pour in the Baileys and syrup and mix with a spatula until fully combined (note: if there is some cocoa powder not fully blending in add one teaspoon Baileys or milk, as needed, but do not make it wet).
- Make truffle balls using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, place 21 chocolate balls in a single layer on the baking sheet. Chill for 5 minutes in the freezer then roll, and place back in for 20 minutes.
- If using a microwave method, allow truffles to sit out for 3-5 minutes before moving onto the next step. If using the while melting chocolate on the stove, you can remove them while you do the next step.
- Melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between, or over low heat using a double boiler method (heat a couple inches of water on low on the stove with a heat-safe bowl overtop with the chocolate. Allow it to melt slowly, stirring more regularly as it melts faster).
- Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate to fully coat, then give a little tap to remove excess chocolate, before returning them to the pan.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Chill Before Dipping: Freezing the truffles briefly helps them hold their shape when coated.
- Use Low Heat for Chocolate: Melting slowly prevents scorching and keeps the coating smooth.
- Work in Batches: Dip a few truffles at a time to keep everything neat and manageable.
- Tap Off Excess Chocolate: This creates a thinner, cleaner shell.
- Drizzle for Finish: Rewarm leftover chocolate for an easy decorative drizzle.
