Chocolate Truffles With Liqueur

1. 1

   In microwave using medium-low power, melt chocolate in a medium-sized bowl-- the length of time this will take will depend on the strength of your microwave, but expect it to take at least 1 minute.

2. 2

   Whisk in butter and egg yolk until blended; then whisk in liqueur and icing sugar until smooth.

3. 3

   Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to shape, about 1 hour.

4. 4

   Shape mixture into small balls, roll balls in cocoa, then place in tiny foil or paper cups.

5. 5

   The above will be a messy job on your hands-- they will get quite chocolatey; if mixture gets too soft, return it to the fridge to stiffen up again.

6. 6

   Keep truffles refrigerated in a covered container; remove from fridge about 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off them.
