BOURBON PECAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES



Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Truffles image

Chocolate truffles are spiked with bourbon and then rolled in chopped pecans.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h30m

Yield makes 12-24 truffles (depending on the size)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (not chips)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/3 cup finely chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just comes to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir once to mix the chocolate and cream together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Uncover and whisk until smooth and shiny. Microwave in 10 second increments if there are any un-melted lumps of chocolate. Stir in the bourbon.
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the chocolate and set aside in a cool place until the chocolate is thick and firm enough to hold its shape when rolled, about 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Use 2 spoons to drop small mounds of chocolate onto the baking sheet. Then, with cold hands, roll each truffle between your open palms to make smooth round balls. You may need to run your hands under cool water frequently as you work.
  • Put the pecans on a plate and roll each truffle until well coated. Refrigerate until very cold.

PECAN PIE TRUFFLES



Pecan Pie Truffles image

These festive truffles from Hannah Kaminsky, a columnist at VegNews Magazine, combine the rich flavors of pecan pie under a thin layer of smooth chocolate. (To make these vegan, be sure to use vegan dark chocolate.) Like traditional rum balls, these offer a slightly alcoholic kick, so be sure to monitor any underage guests.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 24 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups pecans, toasted and finely chopped
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (from about 8 whole graham crackers)
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 ounces dark chocolate

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together pecans, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and salt until well combined. Add maple syrup, bourbon and vanilla, stirring thoroughly. Use your hands to make sure the mixture becomes fully incorporated.
  • Form mixture into walnut-sized balls, then place on a cookie sheet and freeze for 2 hours.
  • In the top of a double boiler or in a medium stainless steel bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water, melt chocolate (we recommend tempering the chocolate, but if you don't, they'll still be delicious, just a bit messy). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip the frozen balls into the melted chocolate, then place onto prepared baking sheet. Let sit for 15 minutes or until firm.
