Ingredients
- 300 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a heatproof bowl and place the chocolate chips inside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Step 4
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Using a silicone spatula, stir the mixture until smooth and glossy. This forms the ganache base.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the firm ganache and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands.
Step 7
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Step 8
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set before serving.
Step 9
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
