Creamy Chocolate Amaretto Truffles

These truffles feature a rich, creamy chocolate center with a subtle hint of amaretto, delivering a luxurious taste reminiscent of a fancy chocolate shop. Simple to make, they combine smooth chocolate and the distinctive almond flavor of amaretto liqueur.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 20 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g plain chocolate, chopped
  • 600 ml double cream
  • 5 tbsp amaretto liqueur
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup
  • 75 g amaretti biscuits, crushed (optional for coating)

Instructions

  1. Heat the double cream and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and add the chopped plain chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the amaretto liqueur until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  5. Once set, scoop out small portions and roll into balls using your hands.
  6. Optionally, roll the truffles in crushed amaretti biscuits for added texture and flavor.
  7. Place the truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until firm before serving.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality plain chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content. Rolling the truffles in crushed amaretti biscuits adds a delightful crunch and enhances the almond flavor. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week.
