Boozy kahlua truffles

These truffles are really easy to make and taste delicious. You can use any liquor or whisky that takes your fancy, but I used Kahlua because it's lush and I had some lying around the house. It feels like a Christmassy liquor to me, because it's chocolatey and rich and goes great with coffee. 

Ingredients: 

80g unsalted butter

200ml double cream

280g dark chocolate, broken into pieces 

3 tbsp kahlua (or any liquor of your choice)

For the coating: 220g dark chocolate, broken into pieces

Method:

1. Make a burnt butter by melting the butter for 2 minutes over a high-heat until it achieves a dark golden colour. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.

2. Make a ganache by heating the double cream until it's warm enough to melt the chocolate. When the cream is bubbling at the edges of the pan, take it off the heat and stir in the pieces of chocolate and the burnt butter. Stir everything together until you have a thick chocolatey mixture, which will have a glossy finish. 
3. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of kahlua, or your favourite liquor.
4. Pour the mixture into a lines baking tray of about 2.5cm depth. 
5. Refrigerate for 30-60 mins until the mixture begins to set, but is still malleable.
6. Using a teaspoon and your fingers, scrape balls of the mixture from the tray onto a lined plate. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
7. Melt the chocolate for the coating. 
8. Drop the truffles into the melted chocolate until they are coated and place on a lined baking tray.
9. Leave to cool and set at room temperature.
10. Scoff the lot share with your friends, or make new ones by feeding them boozy truffles at Christmas time.
