Boozy Vodka Espresso Truffles

Instructions

Chop 9 oz chocolate and transfer into medium size bowl.

Heat 3/4 cup of heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.

Pour over chopped chocolate.

Let it sit for 1 minute.

Then stir with spatula until chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Add vodka espresso and stir until incorporated with melted chocolate.

Cover with a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

After 3 hours or longer:

Take teaspoon of the ganache and roll into balls. I don't like to specify the size of the truffles.

It is your choice. You can go super small like 1 tsp or you can go big like 1 TBSP or more.

Roll them into balls and coat with cocoa, grounded walnuts, hazelnuts or coconut.

Store in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Important: Wash and dry your hands after rolling a few truffles. Yes, this is the "sticky situation" when making the chocolate truffles but you have to adjust. Wash your hand and keep going.

Options 2 is to wear rubber gloves.

Storage:

Fridge - 2 weeks

Freezer - 3 months
