Chocolate Chai Truffles recipe

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 semi-sweet 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.
