We love chocolate truffles for two reasons:

They're insanely delicious.
They're SO easy to make.

Now, we have another reason to love truffles: you can make them with RED WINE! All you need to do is reduce your favorite red and voila, a classic treat with a boozy twist.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Step 1In a small saucepan, bring red wine to a boil and cook until reduced to ¼ cup, about 5 minutes.
2. Step 2Place chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. In another small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Pour heavy cream mixture over chocolate and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Add the reduced wine and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
3. Step 3Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop ganache and drop into the shredded coconut. Coat in coconut and then use your hands to roll into a ball. Coat in coconut again and transfer to a tray. Repeat alternating between coconut, cocoa powder, and pistachio. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
