Chocolate Truffles, Mini Platter Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Melt the Chocolate

   Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.

2. 2

   Add Butter and Flavoring

   Once the chocolate and cream mixture is smooth, add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.

3. 3

   Chill the Mixture

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm enough to handle.

4. 4

   Form the Truffles

   Once the mixture is firm, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

5. 5

   Coat the Truffles

   Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles until they are fully coated.

6. 6

   Chill and Serve

   Place the coated truffles on a platter and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your mini platter of chocolate truffles!
