Method
Making the Truffle Filling
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the Cream
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Add the butter and vanilla extract, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Forming the Truffles
Scoop and Shape
Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the chilled chocolate mixture and quickly roll it into balls with your hands.
Coat the Truffles
Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts to coat them evenly.
Chill Again
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
