Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened, for coating)
- 1 pinch Sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces 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. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir the mixture gently using a spatula until it is smooth, glossy, and fully combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until the chocolate mixture is firm but scoopable.
Scoop out small portions of the chilled mixture using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a smooth ball between your palms.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each truffle for a hint of crunch and flavor contrast.
Refrigerate the finished truffles in an airtight container until ready to serve. Allow them to come to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
