Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
- 1 teaspoon Stevia sweetener
Directions
Step 1
Chop the sugar-free dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit without stirring for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Gently stir the chocolate and cream mixture with a spatula until smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and stevia sweetener to the chocolate mixture, stirring until the butter is completely melted and well incorporated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
Step 7
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop small portions of the chocolate mixture and quickly roll them between your palms to form balls.
Step 8
Place the rolled truffles on the prepared baking sheet. If the mixture becomes too soft to handle, refrigerate it for a few more minutes.
Step 9
Once all truffles are shaped, roll each in cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Step 10
Optionally sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for a flavor contrast.
Step 11
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving. They can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
