Chocolates and Confections
Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.

Add Sweetness
Once the ganache is smooth, add the powdered sugar and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until fully incorporated.

Chill the Mixture
Pour the chocolate ganache into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to scoop.

Form the Truffles
Using a melon baller or small scoop, scoop out the ganache and roll it into small balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Coat the Truffles (Optional)
If desired, roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts to coat them. Place back on the parchment-lined tray.

Chill Again
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set before serving.

Serve
Enjoy the truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
