This was actually the very first time I’d ever made truffles a.k.a ganache…at least to my recollection. I’m telling you this because if I can make these delicious, smooth, rich Baileys Dark Chocolate Truffles and get it right the first time, so can you!
Ganache is simply chocolate mixed with heavy cream. It’s so good! It makes a great cake filling.
They are really easy-to-make. REALLY! PLus, they aren’t too sweet.
This is a great homemade gift to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. Put them in a cute heart-shaped box and they’ll make a great last-minute gift. Plus, you can pour the chocolate mixture into this mold and make heart-shaped truffles if you’d like.
If you’re in the mood for baking, you may want to make this Heart-shaped Naked Cake for your sweetie.
Or, maybe White Chocolate Cranberry Cannoli are just what your sweetheart would like.

How to Make Easy Baileys Dark Chocolate Truffles
*The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.
First, with a knife, cut up a 4 oz bittersweet baking bar into 1 inch or so pieces. I used Baker’s as shown below. Click the picture to purchase it on Amazon (affiliate link.)
Next, heat the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for about 1 1/2 min or until it begins to melt. Do not let it overheat or burn.
Then, put 4 oz of heavy cream into a small pot and heat on med/high heat until it starts to bubble.
Next, add the heated cream, 1 tbsp of Bailey’s Irish Cream liquor and 1 tsp of coffee liquor to the melting chocolate. Stir for a minute or two until it’s smooth. Refrigerate chocolate mixture for two hours.
Remove chocolate from refrigerator. Using a melon baller or a 1 1/2 teaspoon, scoop out 16 or so balls. Put them on wax paper. Make them as round as you can and then dip them in 1 tbsp of cocoa powder. Put them back in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Also, you can mix a little bit of confectioners sugar with unsweetened cocoa powder if you don’t want the bitter taste of the cocoa.
You can use other coatings if you want. You can use:
- chopped: peanuts or almonds
- chopped sweetened coconut flakes
- chocolate shavings
- sprinkles
- colored sugar crystals
- chocolate coating (dip them in melted chocolate to coat)
