Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips and let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract and stir well.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Once chilled, use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll it into small bite-sized balls with your hands.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl and roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
