Power truffles

This quick and easy recipe yields deliciously appetising chocolate truffles with a creamy dark chocolate ganache filling. The latter is enriched with a splash of Cointreau to give a sweet citric touch to the intense, full-bodied cocoa taste of the dark chocolate in it and the cocoa powder the truffles are rolled in. Good to know is that this classic piece of chocolate confectionery is a highly popular gift bought in chocolate boutiques all over the world.
