Ingredients

• 225 grams High-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 15 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Cocoa powder (for coating)
• 50 grams Optional toppings (finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, crushed freeze-dried fruit)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer gently. Avoid boiling.

Step 3

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

Step 4

Using a whisk, start stirring the mixture in small circles from the center outward until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Add in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache sets to a firm, scoopable consistency.

Step 7

Prepare your coating stations: sift the cocoa powder into a shallow dish, and place any additional toppings (chopped nuts, coconut, etc.) in separate dishes, if using.

Step 8

Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out portions of the chilled ganache (approximately 1 tablespoon each). Roll each portion quickly between the palms of your hands to form a smooth ball. Tip: Work fast to prevent the ganache from melting in your hands.

Step 9

Roll the truffles in cocoa powder to coat them evenly. Alternatively, gently press the truffles into your chosen toppings until fully covered.

Step 10

Place the finished truffles onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 11

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow the truffles to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
