Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Bittersweet chocolate
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a light simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for about 2 minutes.
Gently whisk the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined.
Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm.
Once the mixture is firm enough to handle, use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop small amounts and roll them into balls using your hands.
Mix unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar on a plate.
Gently roll the chocolate balls in the cocoa and sugar mixture until fully coated.
Place the bon bons in an airtight container, and store them in a cool place or the refrigerator until ready to serve.
