Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the cream from the heat and immediately pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Using a spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chocolate mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until it's firm enough to scoop.
Once firm, use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop small amounts of the chocolate mixture. Roll each scoop between your palms to form a round truffle.
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Transfer the coated truffles to a plate and refrigerate for another 10-15 minutes to set.
Serve the truffles chilled and enjoy their rich, indulgent flavor!
