Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- 3.5 - 5 oz bar of good chocolate
- ⅓ c - ½ c heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- Assorted sprinkles cocoa powder, confectioners
- sugar for rolling
Instructions
- To make the ganache: begin by roughly chop the chocolate and place in a
- medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the cream until it just begins
- to bubble around the edges of the pan. Turn the heat to low and let the cream
- sit for 1 minute. (Pro Tip: Don’t walk away and let your cream boil over.)
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and add the butter. Cover the bowl
- with plastic wrap. Let sit for 90 seconds. Remove plastic and whisk the
- chocolate and cream together until completely incorporated and silky
- smooth. Let cool at room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To roll truffles: use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to extract a small
- amount of ganache. Gently roll the ganache between your hands to form a
- ball.
- Roll the truffle in whatever toppings you desire. I love sprinkles, finely chopped
- nuts, and cocoa powder with a pinch of chile powder in it. Place truffles onto a
- plate and chill until ready to serve
