Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 100 grams White chocolate chips
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet and dark chocolate chips.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture. Flatten it slightly with your hands, then add a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of peanut butter to the center.
Wrap the chocolate mixture around the peanut butter, rolling it into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture and peanut butter. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the truffles for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate to coat it. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the truffles are coated, dust them lightly with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set the coating. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
