Ingredients You'll Need
For the Truffles:
1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon rum
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
For the Coating:
1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup crushed nuts (e.g. almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)
1/4 cup shredded coconut
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Truffle Filling
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
Add the butter and rum, stirring until well combined.
Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
2. Shape the Truffles
Once the truffle filling is firm, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form small balls.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the refrigerator to chill for another 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Coating
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, crushed nuts, and shredded coconut.
4. Coat the Truffles
Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and use a fork to dip each one into the melted white chocolate.
Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
Roll the truffle in the cocoa powder mixture until completely coated, then place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining truffles.
5. Chill and Serve
Place the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
