Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate (nut-free, 70% cocoa preferred)
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 30 grams Cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar for dusting
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small 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 boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to begin melting.
Gently stir the chocolate and cream mixture with a spatula until it becomes smooth and fully combined.
Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring until the butter is melted and everything is well incorporated.
Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the mixture is firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions of the chocolate and quickly roll them into balls with your hands.
Place the cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar in a shallow dish and roll each chocolate ball in the powder to coat.
Arrange the finished bonbons on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for another hour to set.
Serve or store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
