Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Prepare a heatproof bowl and place the chocolate chips inside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Using a silicone spatula, stir the mixture until smooth and glossy. This forms the ganache base.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the firm ganache and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set before serving.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
