Method

Preparation

Milk Chocolate Truffles

In a heatproof bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. Stir in vanilla extract until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Dark Chocolate Truffles

In a separate heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. Stir in sea salt and nuts, if using. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

White Chocolate Truffles

In another heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. Stir in orange zest. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Forming Truffles

Shape the Truffles

Once the chocolate mixtures are firm, use a melon baller or your hands to scoop out small portions and roll into balls. For the milk chocolate truffles, roll in cocoa powder. For the dark chocolate truffles, you can roll in crushed nuts. For the white chocolate truffles, roll in crushed pistachios.

Chill and Serve

Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.
