I want to make chocolates that have a liqour center. I don't want it to be pure liquid I want it slightly thicker like a cream liquor. Any ideas or recipes would be great. Want it simple-a really strong pure liqour flavor.
Also with coffee- does anyone know a creamy coffee filling?
thank you

I haven't tried this before so don't take my word for it. Maybe adding the liquor to some clear corn syrup might do the trick or even to a simple syrup. I'm not sure about the coffe one unless you made a truffle type filling with a super strong instant coffe granual added to the cream before the ganache cools. It'd be more of a mocha flavor but maybe even white chocolate would work.

you could do a couple of things depending on what you're going for:
1. For the liquor chocolate, you could do cordial cups where you fill them with brandy or whatever and then top with piped chocolate mousse. The inside will be liquid so you'll need to be careful that they remain upright.
2. using flavorings, you could make a nice cream centre, here's the recipe that i use

2.25 cups sifted fondant sugar
1.5 tbsp soft, unsalted butter
0.5 cup 35% cream
Mix fondant and butter well. Add cream. Flavor as desired. For a thicker consistency (as for peppermint patties) add a bit more fondant sugar.

also - check out the lorann flavor oils site... they have a TON of recipes there!

Or you could do truffles. Just add liquor to the ganache while it's still melted and then let it harden and make tuffle balls or pipe it into chocolate covered molds.
