Truffle Ingredients
Method
Truffle Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ganache
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and unsalted butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to soften. Then, stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
- 3
Form the Truffles
Once the ganache is chilled, use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out small amounts of the mixture. Roll the scoops between your hands to form them into balls.

Coat the Truffles
Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts to coat them evenly. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- 5
Chill Again
Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 30 minutes to set the coating.
