Baileys Irish cream truffles
Submitted by margaret biddle 11 June 2009
To make it easy to roll into balls put a little bit of Sunflower Oil on you hands first. After making them into balls I put them back in the freezer for about 20mins then using a cocktail stick to hold them I dipped some in melted Lindt milk chocolate and some in melted Lindt white chocolate. The rest I shook the sieve of cocoa powder over.
Ingredients
2oz/50g caster sugar,2 egg yolks,5oz/125g good quality dark chocolate grated,3fl oz/75ml single cream,2 tablespoons Baileys,1 tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting
