Indulge your sweet tooth with Maple Pecan Truffles, a rich and decadent treat that combines the warm, nutty flavor of pecans with the sweetness of maple syrup, creating a luxurious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pecans

  • 1 cup toasted pecans

Maple Syrup

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Dark Chocolate

  • 8 oz dark chocolate

Butter

  • 2 tbsp butter

Heavy Cream

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pecans: Begin by toasting the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. This enhances their flavor and crunch.
  2. Create the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted pecans, maple syrup, butter, and heavy cream. Stir until well mixed, and then chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  3. Form the Truffles: Once the mixture is chilled, scoop out small amounts and roll them into balls about an inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, then return them to the baking sheet. Let them sit until the chocolate hardens.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Maple Pecan Truffles are ready to be served! Enjoy them fresh or store them for later.

Notes

  • Chill Before Rolling: Ensure the filling is cold before rolling it into balls to make the process easier.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the overall flavor of your truffles.
  • Keep It Clean: Use a toothpick to help dip the truffles if you find it messy with a fork.
  • Perfectly Toasted Nuts: Keep an eye on the pecans while toasting to avoid burning them.
  • Let Them Set: Patience is key; allow the chocolate to fully harden for the best texture.
