Truffle Ingredients
Method
Truffle Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ganache
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.

Mix the Ingredients
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the chocolate and cream mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. If using, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.

Chill the Ganache
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.

Form the Truffles
Once the ganache is firm, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the ganache into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, or chopped nuts to coat them evenly.
