Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 pound white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur, such as Baileys
  • 1 pound dark chocolate, chopped
  • Special equipment: heating pad covered with a kitchen towel, any candy mold will work

Method

  • Turn the heating pad covered with a kitchen towel onto high heat.
  • In a small saucepan, scald the heavy whipping cream.
  • Remove from the heat and add the white chocolate.
  • Stir until all of the chocolate is melted and then add the Irish cream liqueur and stir again.
  • Pour into a piping bag and lay on the heating pad to keep warm.
  • In a microwave-safe container, melt the dark chocolate on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted.
  • Pour the chocolate into the candy molds to coat and tip over to drain off the excess chocolate to create a chocolate shell.
  • Place the molds in the freezer for 2 minutes to harden.
  • Remove the molds from the freezer and fill just shy of the top with the white chocolate-Irish cream mixture.
  • Reheat the left over dark chocolate in the microwave until melted and place in a piping bag.
  • Pipe the dark chocolate over the top of the mold and shake or tap to level.
  • Place the molds back into the freezer for 3 minutes.
  • Turn over onto wax paper and pop out the candies from their molds.
  • Store at room temperature.
