Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups finely chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the chilled chocolate mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls using your hands.
Place the cocoa powder on a shallow plate. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly. If desired, roll some truffles in finely chopped nuts or sprinkles for variety.
Arrange the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
