📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.

2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

4. Gently whisk the mixture beginning in the center and working outward until you achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.

5. Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.

6. Let the truffle filling cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to use.
