Ingredients
- 225 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips and let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Step 4
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and stir well.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Step 7
Once chilled, use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll it into small bite-sized balls with your hands.
Step 8
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl and roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.
Step 9
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
