Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams bittersweet chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Heat a small saucepan with water over medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Place the bowl of chocolate over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and allow the chocolate to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture turns smooth and glossy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop and shape.
Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to portion out the chocolate mixture. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands. If the mixture becomes too sticky, lightly dampen your hands with water.
Spread the cocoa powder on a plate or shallow dish and roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat completely.
Place the truffles on a plate or in a storage container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
