3-Ingredient Truffles With Wine
Easy, delicious chocolate and red wine truffle recipe.
Ingredients
- 8 oz Dark Chocolate broken into pieces, plus extra for topping
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Red Wine
Optional Topping
- Chopped Almonds
Instructions
- Place chocolate pieces into a heat proof bowl.
- Heat the wine in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes until reduced to approximately 1/4 cup.
- While the wine is simmering, heat the heavy cream in another saucepan until it begins to boil.
- Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate pieces and let sit for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then stir with a fork until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Pour the red wine over the chocolate mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Refrigerate until firm, at least two hours.
- Scoop the chocolate mixture and roll into 1-2 inch balls. Use parchment paper to keep it from sticking.
- Roll the truffles in chopped almonds or dip in melted chocolate for topping.
Notes
Keep truffles refrigerated until serving, they do not hold up well in the heat.
Use additional dark chocolate for topping your truffles. You can dip them in melted chocolate or drizzle them with it. You can also use chocolate shavings as a topping.
We used slivered almonds and crushed them for our almond topping.
More topping ideas: sprinkles, cocoa powder, confectioner's sugar, and other chopped nuts.
