Ingredients
- 12 ounces Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate finely and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
Step 4
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the ganache chill in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, until firm.
Step 7
Once chilled, use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the ganache and roll it between your palms to form smooth balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 8
Roll each ball in cocoa powder to coat evenly. You may also roll them in sea salt flakes for a touch of flavor.
Step 9
Transfer the coated bon bons to a parchment-lined tray and chill them for another 10 minutes.
Step 10
Serve the chocolate bon bons chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
