Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 25 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into fine pieces and place them 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. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then gently stir until smooth and fully combined.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until the butter is melted and incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2 to 3 hours or until it is firm enough to scoop.
Once the ganache is firm, use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion out small balls of the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth truffle balls.
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.
Transfer the finished truffles to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
