Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder or powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips.
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Add the unsalted butter to the mixture, then gently stir until smooth and glossy. This is your ganache base.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the chilled ganache and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. If the ganache becomes too soft, return it to the fridge to firm up.
Place the cocoa powder or powdered sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the coating to cover it evenly.
Serve immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
