Ingredients

250g dark chocolate 
250g milk chocolate 
250g cream
166 ml Baileys Irish cream 
Dipping chocolate 
250g milk chocolate 
Cocoa powder sifted onto a plate

Method

1. Begin by heating the cream until just simmering. Meanwhile, in a bowl, pour the hot cream over a mixture of finely chopped dark and milk chocolate. Allow the chocolate to melt into a velvety consistency.
2. Transfer the chocolate mixture into a blender and blend until it transforms into a smooth emulsion. Introduce the Baileys into the blend, continuing to mix until the texture is consistently smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into a silicone truffle mould, and place in the fridge to cool.
4. While the truffle mixture is chilling, melt the milk chocolate. Ensure it reaches a smooth state without becoming overly hot.
5. Once the truffles are cool and firm, dip each truffle ball on a toothpick into the melted milk chocolate, creating a luscious coating.
6. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off by placing the coated truffles on a cooling rack. Once complete, transfer them to the fridge to solidify.
7. Finish off by rolling each truffle ball in cocoa powder until evenly coated.
