Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (sugar-free)
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Splenda granulated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it reach a boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Stir the chocolate and cream mixture gently with a spatula until completely smooth and glossy.
Add the butter, Splenda, and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until the butter is fully melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and shape.
Once chilled, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls between your hands. Work quickly to prevent melting.
Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated.
Place the finished truffles onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
