Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 50 grams cocoa powder (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof mixing 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, ensuring all the chocolate is covered. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Using a spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Add the unsalted butter, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and sea salt to the mixture. Stir until the butter is melted and the spices are evenly incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for 2-3 hours, or until it is firm enough to shape.
Once the ganache is set, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop small portions, approximately 1 tablespoon each.
Roll each portion into a ball between your palms. Work quickly to prevent the ganache from melting.
Place the cocoa powder on a plate. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a small pinch of smoked paprika on top of each truffle for garnish.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve them at room temperature to enjoy the full depth of flavor.
