Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 25 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Black sambuca
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter and stir until fully incorporated.
Stir in the black sambuca until fully combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the chilled mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from melting.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Transfer the truffles to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
