Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the cream from heat and immediately stir in the instant espresso powder until fully dissolved.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Using a rubber spatula, begin stirring the mixture from the center outward until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring until the butter is fully incorporated and the ganache is glossy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Prepare a shallow dish with the cocoa powder for rolling the truffles.
Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the ganache and roll them into 1-inch balls between your palms.
Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly. Shake off any excess powder.
Place the truffles on a lined baking sheet or in a container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as an elegant treat!
