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
