Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream
- 8 oz white chocolate broken in small pieces (I used good quality white chocolate chips)
- 2 Tbsp amaretto
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan, either over simmering water or directly on the heat.
- When the cream comes to a simmer, lower the heat and whisk or stir in the chocolate, making sure not to scorch it. I lift the pan above the low flame as I stir.
- When the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from the heat and stir in the Amaretto and almond extract.
- Pour the mixture into a wide bottomed bowl or dish and refrigerate until firm enough to scoop.
- Meanwhile toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly. When the almonds are lightly browned and fragrant, set aside on a plate to cool.
- When the almonds are cool, pulse them in a small food processor until finely ground. Put them in a small bowl.
- When the white chocolate ganache has firmed up, take a 1" scoop and form small balls. Roll them round with your hands, and then roll into the crushed almonds. The truffles can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated.
