Pinot Noir Dark Chocolate Truffles
 
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • ½ cup half and half
  • 2 tablespoons Gallo Family Vineyards Pinot Noir wine
  • cocoa powder (for coating)
  • coconut (for coating)
  • finely chopped nuts (for coating)
Instructions
  1. In a small sauce pan over low heat, melt chocolate (slowly) until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in half and half and wine. Put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to hold a ball shape.
  3. Put coating ingredients on a shallow bowl. (I used coconut and cocoa powder). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Scoop out teaspoonful and gently roll into a ball and then roll in coating. Place on parchment paper and repeat with remaining truffle mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
