February, the month of chocolates and hearts is here. And I'm kicking off this lovely month with my ultra-lux Baileys Chocolate Truffles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Baileys<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my early baking days, I discovered the wonder of making my chocolates. This was something I never thought I would delve into \u2013 leave the indulgent art of chocolate creation to Godiva!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my love of dark chocolate grew deeper, I ventured forth into making little treats for my family and then my clients. Fast forward, every winter I create a new flavour of chocolates that we all look forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Bailey\u2019s Truffles are my personal favourite \u2013 boozy, chocolatey, creamy goodness that I can gorge on forever.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can I Make Baileys Chocolate Truffles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What makes this divine recipe 10x better?  It is not even remotely difficult to make! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's as simple as heating cream and Baileys Irish Cream up to a slow simmer and then adding chocolate to it. Gentle stirring of the ingredients leads to a smooth and glossy chocolate mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You pour this gorgeous ganache into a shallow bowl and refrigerate till it hardens a bit and then scoop out small portions. I like to refrigerate these scooped-out portions for a bit. This makes the rolling process less messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Embellishments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the fun part! You can dip the truffle balls into melted chocolate, roll them in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, colourful sprinkles, Matcha powder...whatever strikes your fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ingredients for Chocolate Truffles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate truffles are essentially a 2 ingredient recipe. Cream and chocolate. So it's important to use the best quality<\/em><\/strong> ones you can get your hands on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As easy as making truffles is, there are definitely a couple of points to keep in mind here - <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ratio of Chocolate to Cream used is 2:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend weighing the ingredients. So take out that weighing scale sitting at the back of your kitchen cabinet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark chocolate, preferably 70% couverture, is fabulous here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer heating the cream on my stovetop instead of a microwave as it gives me more control over the whole process. But you can use one if you like. Just make sure you're heating the cream in spurts of 1 minute to avoid overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chocolate ganache must be cooled completely ( until firm) in the refrigerator before scooping it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I have used Bailey's Irish Cream in this recipe, this recipe is not dairy-free. If the vegan version of this liqueur is available in your area, please use that in case that is your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be warned - these silky, rich truffles will have you addicted from the first bite! They are perfect accompanied by a glass of wine, or green tea, or another dozen truffles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That\u2019s why I\u2019m always eager to hear from you.
