Steps:
- Line cookie sheet with foil. In 2-quart saucepan, melt baking chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly; stir in butter until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream. Pour mixture into small bowl. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, just until thick enough to hold a shape.
- Drop mixture by rounded measuring teaspoonfuls onto lined cookie sheet. Return to refrigerator 5 to 10 minutes or until firm enough to shape. Shape into balls. Freeze uncovered 30 minutes.
- In 1-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Using 2 forks, dip and roll chocolate balls, one at a time, into melted chocolate; tap off excess chocolate. Place on lined cookie sheet. Immediately sprinkle with nuts. If chocolate has cooled too much, reheat. Repeat with remaining chocolate balls.
- Refrigerate truffles about 10 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in covered container in refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving.

- Whisk in enough of the milk to form a smooth paste.
- Mix in the remaining milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, to prevent burning (especially around the bottom edges of the pot), until mixture begins to simmer.

- Pour the hot mixture immediately over the chopped chocolate.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

- Scrape mixture into the cake pan and spread evenly.
- Set cake pan in baking pan and place on oven rack.
- Pour enough boiling water into the baking pan to come a third to halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
- Bake for exactly 20 minutes.

- The surface will spring back when gently pressed but cake will still be quite gooey inside.
- Remove cake pan and water pan from oven.
- Remove the cake pan from the water and cool completely on a rack.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before serving.
- Refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 2 months.
- After the truffle sheet is well chilled, lift the edges of the foil to remove the truffle sheet from the pan.
- Cut the sheet into 7 strips, each about 1 1/4 inches wide, using a long thin sharp knife dipping in hot water and wiped dry between each cut (the cake is very sticky) or cut with dental floss.
- Cut each strip into 7 squares.
- Transfer each square to a fluted paper candy cup and or arrange on a serving platter.
- If garnishing with raspberries, simmer the preserves for a minute or until thick and sticky.
- Touch the hot preserves with the bottom of each berry before placing it on the truffle square.
- Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:
- Chop fine 12 ounces of the chocolate. In a small saucepan bring the cream just to a boil, remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the chopped chocolate, whisking until the chocolate is melted completely. Whisk in the Amaretto, whisking until the mixture is smooth, and let the truffle mixture cool slightly.
- In a small heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the remaining 4 ounces chocolate. Line the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking pan with wax paper and spread half of the melted chocolate in a thin layer on the paper.
- Freeze the chocolate layer for 5 minutes and top it with the truffle mixture, smoothing the surface. Drizzle the truffle mixture with the remaining melted chocolate, spreading it lightly, and sprinkle the melted chocolate with the almonds, pressing them lightly. Chill the mixture for 3 hours, or until it is firm. Turn the mixture out onto a cutting board, peel off the wax paper, and with a long sharp knife cut the mixture into 3/4-inch squares. The truffle squares keep, chilled in an airtight container, for 2 weeks.
