RUM TRUFFLES

RUM TRUFFLES

Ingredients:
3.5 ozs cooking chocolate
2 egg yolks coconut
1 oz ground almonds
2 ozs butter
7 ozs icing sugar (powdered sugar)
2 Tbsp dark rum
1 oz plain biscuit crumbs
Instructions:
Put broken choc.& butter in bowl & soften in microwave or double boiler. Mix in egg yolks then remaining ingredients, except coconut.Chill until firm then form into small balls & roll in coconut. Keep in refrigerator.
Variations:
Replace Rum with tipple of your choice ie Brandy, Sherry, Orange or Coffee liqueur. The mixture may be rolled around a glace cherry or ginger. Try choc. hail instead of coconut. For a real luxury, soak a few glace cherries in the same liqueur overnight (or longer) then make the balls. Superb with coffee liqueur…I’m trying them with Grand
Marnier this year. Cheers
