Truffles

Ingredients

8 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate -  finely chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons Amaretto

1 teaspoon chai masala

1 teaspoon Almond extract

Unsweetened cocoa powder to coat

Directions

In a small, heavy saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer (stir and scrape down the sides with a spatula every few minutes).

If you are using a liquid flavorings, stir it in with the cream (and ignore the vanilla in the next step).

If adding mint or other solids for flavor, remove the cream from heat, add the flavor solids, and let steep for an hour. Then strain away the solids, and return the cream to a simmer. Proceed with the recipe.
