Rum Raisin Truffles with Dark Chocolate
Raisins, rum, and dark chocolate make a rich, decadent truffle. Start the day before you want the truffles ready.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces raisins, about 1/4 cup
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 12 ounces dark chocolate
Instructions
DAY 1
- Chop the raisins, cutting each raisin into quarters. Place in a small bowl and add rum. Set aside.
- Fill a pot about 1/3 full of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heat-proof bowl (like stainless steel) over the pot and add cream to it. Heat until warm, but not boiling.
- Turn off heat and add butter and chocolate to cream. Stir until chocolate melts. (Remove bowl from top of pot if that makes it easier to stir.)
- Add rum-raisin mixture to chocolate and stir well. Press plastic wrap onto the surface of the chocolate and leave at room temperature at least 6 hours (or overnight).
DAY 2
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out balls of the mixture using a small cookie scoop or two spoons and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Using a small cookie scoop (affiliate link) will make forming the truffles easier.
