Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat the mixture until it starts to simmer, but do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot cream and butter over the chopped chocolate.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the mixture.
Stir gently with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
Once firm, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into a shallow dish.
Roll each truffle ball in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
