Ingredients

For the Truffle Filling

8 oz Dark Chocolate Use high-quality chocolate for a rich, deep flavor.
1 cup Heavy Cream Adds creaminess; coconut cream works as a dairy-free substitute.
0.5 cup Baileys Irish Cream Provides a distinctive flavor; swap for coffee liqueur for a fun twist.

For Dusting

0.25 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Offers a pleasing bitter contrast; crushed nuts or powdered sugar can be alternatives.

Equipment

Small saucepan
Melon baller or teaspoon
Parchment-lined tray
