Bourbon-Pecan Truffles
Credit:
Anna Williams
Recipe Summary
prep: 20 mins
total: 3 hrs 20 mins
Yield: Makes 35
Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped)
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Cook's Notes
To make sure the chocolate does not melt, work with a few truffles at a time (keeping the rest refrigerated), and roll them in the nuts quickly. Chilling the chocolate mounds for a half hour makes it easier to shape them into balls. The truffles soften quickly, so keep them in the refrigerator until just before serving.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring cream to a boil; remove from heat, and add chocolate and bourbon. Let stand 3 minutes; whisk until smooth. Transfer chocolate mixture to a medium bowl, and refrigerate, uncovered, until thick and firm enough to spoon out in mounds, about 2 hours.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Drop level tablespoons of chocolate mixture onto baking sheet. Refrigerate chocolate mounds until firm, 30 minutes.
Place pecans in a shallow bowl. Using hands, roll each chocolate mound into a ball; roll balls in pecans, pressing lightly to adhere, and place on baking sheet. Refrigerate truffles until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Cook's Notes

Chilling the chocolate mounds for a half hour makes it easier to shape them into balls. The truffles soften quickly, so keep them in the refrigerator until just before serving.

I love truffles and make them every Christmas. However, with the small amount of chocolate, only 1/2 cup of heavy cream should be used for them to set up correctly.

Not worth the trouble. There are too many other good easty truffle recipes and these are just to messy.

jammiejulie - What is the texture of these when they're ready to eat? Are they hard like chocolate candy or soft like a traditional truffle?

These were 1 of the cookies I made for a friend who was having an open house at her store. Instead of Bourbon I used Bailey's Irish Cream--they were delicious and a big hit!
Jamielen--I wonder what happened. It shouldn't take long for the dough to become firm. I've made these several times and although messy when I roll them, they do form a ball quite easily. I did run my hands under cold water several times while rolling them.

I thought these were terrible. Immediately out of the fridge (after overnight) they were a gooey mess that wouldn't form a ball at all.
