Chocolate Cayenne Truffles
9 oz semisweet chocolate
3/4 cups butter
4 tsp cayenne pepper
6 Tbsp cream
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
Melt chocolate, butter and cayenne in a double boiler, or a bowl in the microwave. Stir well. Remove from heat. Mix in cream and powdered sugar. Stir well. (The sugar will stick together in small lumps if you aren’t vigorous about it.)
Cover, and chill overnight.
Make a mixture of:
1/3 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
Scoop out the chocolate, one tablespoon at a time. Mold it into balls (this is messy; get used to it.) Roll the balls in the powder mixture to coat them. Put them back in the fridge, until serving time.
