A great home-made treat which can double as an elegant gift for that special someone.

Recipe:

Yields: Approximately 30 truffles.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Jameson Irish Whiskey
• 5 oz dark chocolate
• 5 fl oz heavy cream
• 2 oz butter
• 2 oz greek yogurt
• 1 oz cocoa powder
• pinch of salt

Method:

1) Melt the chocolate gently over a low heat.

2) In a second saucepan, add the butter, salt and Jameson to the cream and heat over a low flame. Then add the cream mixture to the melted chocolate and mix together.

3) Remove from heat and add the greek yogurt, mix until smooth.

4) Using a blender or hand mixer, emulsify the mixture to remove any lumps. Finished product should be a glossy, smooth heavy liquid.

5) Pour chocolate mixture into a container, cover with a lid or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to harden.

6) When ready, using a spoon or ice-cream scoop, scoop out balls of truffles and place into a tray filled with the cocoa powder. Roll truffles around in cocoa powder until completely covered.

7) Store refrigerated and enjoy within 7 days.

Tip: Be as creative as you like with different truffle coatings. You can use toasted coconut flakes, crushed nuts, or dip the truffles in melted chocolate for a hard shelled truffle.
