Chocolate Chai Truffles
Source: Whole Foods Market
Makes about 3 dozen.
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chai concentrate (or substitute vanilla liqueur
or strong coffee)
1 (10 ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Heat cream, butter and chai concentrate until almost boiling. Turn off heat
and stir in chocolate pieces until completely melted. Cool for 1/2 hour.
With a mixer, whisk on medium high speed until mixture thickens and turns
lighter in color, about 10 minutes. It should stiffen to a whipped cream
consistency. Refrigerate for several hours.
Scoop up teaspoon-size balls and dust with cocoa powder. Dust your hands
with cocoa powder and roll gently into balls. (Stop frequently to rinse,
dry and re-powder your hands.) Refrigerate until ready to serve.
