Low Fat Chocolate Truffles

Making these for V day... we'll see if they have the right consistency. will roll either in walnut or cocoa.

Makes 24 truffles

Ingredients
200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
6 tablespoons Tia Maria
2 tablespoons clear honey (ie. acacia)
cocoa powder (to dust)
Directions
1Gently melt the chocolate (either in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water, or nuke it in the microwave in short bursts)and set aside.
2Gently pour in the liqueur and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will thicken really quickly.
3Add the honey a tablespoon at a time, slowly mixing with the chocolate until the mixture gets really nice and glossy.
4Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.
5Sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto a clean chopping board / large bowl / work surface.
6Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated.
7Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
8Store in the fridge in a jar or Tupperware.
