Ingredients
– 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
– 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
– Chopped nuts or sprinkles, for coating (optional)
Instructions
Follow these clear and simple steps to create your own White Chocolate Baileys Truffles:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth process.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate, allowing it to sit for a few minutes.
3. Stir Mixture: Use a spatula to gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Add Flavorings: Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
5. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
6. Form the Truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
7. Coat the Truffles: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for added flair and texture.
8. Set the Truffles: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate again for about 30 minutes to set.
9. Serve: Once firm, the truffles are ready to be served or stored in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to indulge.
Each of these steps is straightforward, making it an ideal recipe for both novice and experienced bakers alike.
