Chocolate ganache truffles

Ingredients: 

• 12 ounces high-quality semi or bittersweet  chocolate bars (338g)
• ¾ cup heavy cream (180ml)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2-3 Tbsp Chambord or Grand Marnier, if desired
• cocoa powder, for dusting

A few notes on making these: 

• You don’t have to use liqueur if you don’t prefer. 
• A melon baller or mini scoop works great to uniformly shape these. 
• You can use food prep gloves when rolling truffles to keep them from getting too sticky in your hands 

Directions: 

• Finely chop chocolate and place in heatproof bowl. Add cream.
• Place bowl over sauce pot with simmering water.
  
• Stir until all the chocolate is just  melted and mixture is smooth.
  
• Add liqueur and stir.
  
• Refrigerate until cold and firm, a couple of hours or over-night.
  
• Using a mini scoop or melon baller, measure out and roll into balls. Then roll in cocoa.
  
• Refrigerate until ready to package or serve.
