**Punsjeboller Rum Truffles**
**Ingredients:**
– 200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup rum
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for coating
– Shredded coconut or chopped nuts, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the finely chopped dark chocolate and butter.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and butter mixture. Let it sit for a minute to allow the heat to melt the chocolate.
4. Gently whisk the mixture until the chocolate and cream are fully combined and smooth.
5. Add in the rum and mix well until the rum is fully incorporated into the chocolate ganache.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours or until it firms up.
7. Once the ganache is firm, use a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands.
8. Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until well coated.
9. If desired, roll the coated truffles in shredded coconut or chopped nuts for an extra festive touch.
10. Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to set.
