Main ingredients

Method

Method

  1. 1

    Melt chocolate with cream

    Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream until just steaming, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.

  2. 2

    Incorporate whiskey, butter and vanilla

    Remove from heat. Whisk in Lagavulin 16 year old whisky, butter, vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated and glossy.

  3. 3

    Chill the ganache

    Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

  4. 4

    Shape the truffles

    Scoop small portions and roll them between your palms to form 1/2-inch spheres.

  5. 5

    Coat and finish

    Roll each sphere in cocoa powder until evenly coated. Return to the refrigerator to set, about 15-20 minutes.
