Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup heavy cream warmed
- 0.25 cup whiskey your choice of brand
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 8 oz dark chocolate chopped, for coating
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt optional, for sprinkling
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a heavy saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts into a golden amber caramel.
- Slowly whisk in the warm heavy cream, being careful as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and whiskey until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the caramel into a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Scoop and roll the chilled caramel into 12 truffle-sized balls.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then dip each ball into the chocolate coating.
- Place coated truffles on parchment paper and optionally sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate until set.
Notes
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
