Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Milk chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams White chocolate (for drizzling)
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark and milk chocolates and place them into a heatproof bowl.
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 chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Using a spatula or whisk, gently stir the mixture in small circles starting from the center, until the chocolate and cream combine into a smooth ganache.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the ganache, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to shape.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the ganache and roll them into balls with your hands. If the ganache softens too much, refrigerate it again briefly.
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat completely.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the truffles for decoration. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over each truffle for a burst of flavor.
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the white chocolate drizzle.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
