1
Heat the Cream
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
2
Melt the Dark Chocolate
Remove the saucepan from heat, and add the 61% dark chocolate, sugar, and Sicilian olive oil. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
3
Chill the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to scoop.

4
Scoop the Mixture
Once the truffle base has firmed up, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the mixture.
5
Roll into Balls
Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

6
Melt the Milk Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
7
Coat the Truffles
Dip each truffle into the melted milk chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Then roll the truffle in cocoa powder to coat.

8
Chill Again
Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
9
Serve
Once set, the truffles can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
