Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Goat cheese (soft, plain, and room temperature)
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 30 grams Honey
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt. Gently stir until smooth and fully combined.
4. Add the room temperature goat cheese, honey, and a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk or stir until everything is smooth and well incorporated. This will give the truffles their creamy texture and unique tangy flavor.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop and shape.
6. Once the mixture is firm, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
7. Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
8. Place the finished truffles on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to set before serving.
9. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
