What you need

Amount:×1

1 cup heavy cream
1 lb bittersweet chocolate, 60% cacao or more
2 tbsp liqueur, sherry, chocolate or any liqueur you like

Coating

cocoa powder / toasted chopped nuts / melted chocolate

How I make it

Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan. Just before it boils over, add the chocolate and lower the heat.
Set the pot aside for about 2 minutes, then add the liqueur and stir gently with a spatula.
Refrigerate the mixture overnight, until set.
Roll 1½ teaspoons of the mixture into a ball with your hands.
Roll each ball in the bowl of coating and serve.

What I've learned

I stir in the liqueur gently so I don't beat air bubbles into the mixture.
