Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Gently whisk the mixture beginning in the center and working outward until you achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 6
Let the truffle filling cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to use.
