Ingredients for Chocolate Tartufo

Method

Directions for Preparing Chocolate Tartufo

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Ganache

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the ganache mixture and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until it’s firm enough to handle.

  4. 4

    Shape the Tartufo

    Once firm, use your hands to scoop out portions of the ganache. Roll them into balls and then roll them in cocoa powder and chopped nuts until coated.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Place the chocolate tartufos on a serving plate and garnish with chocolate shavings. Serve chilled.
