2. Heat Cream and Butter: In a microwave-safe glass measuring cup (1 cup size), combine heavy cream and butter. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes or until the butter is melted and the cream begins to boil.

3. Combine Ingredients: With the food processor running, slowly pour the hot cream and butter mixture through the food tube. Process until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

4. Add Black Sambuca: Gradually add the Black Sambuca liqueur to the chocolate mixture in the food processor. Process until well combined.

5. Chill Overnight: Transfer the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or until firm.

6. Shape Truffles: Once chilled and firm, scoop teaspoon-sized portions of the chocolate mixture and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands. Roll each ball in toasted pine nuts until evenly coated.

7. Store and Serve: Place the finished truffles in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. For optimal flavor and texture, let the truffles stand at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
