Ingredients for Tartufo di Cioccolato

Method

Directions to make Tartufo di Cioccolato

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until melted and smooth.

    Mix Ingredients

    Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Let the chocolate mixture cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until it thickens and is scoopable.

  4. 4

    Form the Truffles

    Using a melon baller or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.

  5. 5

    Coat the Truffles

    Roll the chocolate balls in cocoa powder or chopped nuts until fully coated. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

  6. 6

    Chill Again

    Refrigerate the coated truffles for another 20 minutes to set.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Tartufo di Cioccolato chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
