- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 zested oranges (big strips, not the tiny zest)
- 1 lb dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon
Directions
- In small sauce pan, heat cream and orange zest to a high simmer. Keep an eye on it ... cream likes to boil over. That's not fun.
- Immediately add cream and butter to chocolate and remove zest. Shake the bowl a little to settle the chocolate and allow to set for a minute or two. Now stir, stir, stir, until smooth and silky.
- Add the bourbon and stir until completely incorporated. Bring the truffle batter to room temperature then cover and refrigerate until firm.
- Scoop out a big grape sized portion of truffle and roll into a ball. (It's gonna be messy, but you'll never be happier to lick your hands)
- I rolled mine in cocoa powder to deepen the flavor even more, but feel free to go wild, roll in sprinkles, powdered sugar, finely chopped nuts ... let your imagination go!
