Ingredients

  • 180ml cream

  • 200g dark chocolate, broken into small even-sized pieces

  • 25g soft butter

  • 20mls Baileys or another Irish Cream Liqueur

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Method

  1. Heat the cream to shivering, which is just before it boils. Use a heavy-based saucepan and a low heat.

  2. Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter until smooth. Add in the Irish Cream Liqueur and stir it well.

  3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and once it has cooled place it into the fridge to solidify.

  4. To make the truffles, dip a teaspoon in warm water and scoop a generous spoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand. Roll the mixture into a ball and then roll it in the cocoa powder. Put onto a plate, and when you have made all the truffles place into the fridge until serving.
