Black Forest Truffles
Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup chopped dried bing cherries
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- Cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt chocolate chips with the condensed milk.
- Remove from heat, and add cherries and almond extract.
- Chill in the refrigerator and hour or two, or until firm.
- When firm, shape into 1-inch balls and coat with cocoa.
- Place into mini-muffin liners and chill in refrigerator 1 hour. Allow truffles to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
To coat truffles I first shape the truffles and then I put the cocoa powder in a shallow pan and press my hands into the powder dusting my palms. Then I roll the truffles in my hands coating each one in cocoa before placing in miniature paper cups.
Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
