Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Remove the cream from the heat and immediately pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chocolate mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until it's firm enough to scoop.
Step 7
Once firm, use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop small amounts of the chocolate mixture. Roll each scoop between your palms to form a round truffle.
Step 8
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the coated truffles to a plate and refrigerate for another 10-15 minutes to set.
Step 10
Serve the truffles chilled and enjoy their rich, indulgent flavor!
