Can I Use Non-Alcoholic Irish Cream?

Absolutely! If you want to make a non-alcoholic version of these Baileys Chocolate Truffles, you can substitute an equal amount of strong coffee or espresso for the Baileys. This will give you a similar rich, creamy flavor without the alcohol.

How Long Do the Truffles Need to Chill?

The ganache filling needs to chill for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator to firm up before you can roll it into truffles. This resting time is crucial to get the right texture — you want the ganache to be firm enough to hold its shape but still soft and creamy.

Can I Dip the Truffles in Chocolate?

Absolutely! For an extra-indulgent treat, you can dip the chilled truffles in melted chocolate after rolling them in cocoa powder. This gives you a crisp chocolate shell around the creamy Baileys ganache center. Just be sure to let the chocolate coating fully set before serving.
