Who doesn’t appreciate a treat that’s been made with love?

To be super clear, we’re talking about the rich, chocolatey and totally irresistible kind of truffles and we’re pretty sure that these will be loved by all who have the pleasure of eating them.

You’ll need:

70ml Baileys Irish Cream (but you can substitute it for any flavour of Baileys that tickles your fancy)

200g semi-sweet chocolate

56g unsalted butter

120ml heavy whipping cream

Cocoa powder for coating

Method:

1. Put the chocolate and butter in a heat-proof bowl and melt over a bain-marie (or in the microwave if you’re feeling lazy)

2. Take off the heat and stir in the Baileys and whipping cream until the mixture is well combined

3. Refrigerate for two hours until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls

4. Use a teaspoon or melonballer to form the truffles

5. Roll them in cocoa powder and refrigerate for an hour before serving

We’re here for chocolate truffles all day long, but chocolate truffles with a surprise slosh of Baileys? We couldn’t think of a more perfect Mother’s Day treat.
