Method
Preparation
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and gently stir until the chocolate and butter have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add Flavors
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the Guayaquil chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until fully combined.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Forming the Truffles
Shape the Truffles
Once the mixture is firm, use a small scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Coat the Truffles
Roll each truffle in either cocoa powder or chopped nuts to coat them. Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet.
Storage
Chill Again
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to set.
Store
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
