45 truffles


INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream 1/2 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons Nit'ir Qibe, butter, or coconut oil
2 tablespoons brandy or other liquor 1/3 cup cocoa powder



1 Heat the coconut milk or cream in a small pot until it just comes to a boil. Add the chocolate and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, covered. Whisk to combine, then stir in the Nit'ir Qibe and brandy. Pour into a shallow container and refrigerate until semifirm, about 1 hour.
2 Scrape the mixture into a bowl and, using the paddle of a stand mixer, whip until fluffy. Use 2 teaspoons to drop scant teaspoons of chocolate onto a parchment-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, another 10 minutes or so.
3 Measure the cocoa powder into a bowl or shallow baking dish. Roll the truffles into balls and drop them into the cocoa to coat. Lift them out, shaking them off to remove any excess cocoa.
