Chocolate Truffle Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Melt the Chocolate

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

2

Add Flavorings

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.

3

Chill the Mixture

Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once it has cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

4

Form the Truffles

Once the chocolate mixture is firm, use a melon baller or your hands to scoop out small portions and roll them into balls. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5

Coat the Truffles

Roll each truffle in cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles to coat. Make sure they are evenly covered.

6

Chill Again

Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
