Ingredients
– 8 ounces quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate
– 2/3 cup heavy cream
– 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
– 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
– Unsweetened cocoa powder for toppings
– Sprinkles for toppings
– Crushed nuts for toppings
– Melted or tempered chocolate for toppings
Instructions
1- Place the finely chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and set it aside.
2- Heat the heavy cream until it’s simmering, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
3- Add the butter, if you’re using it, to the chocolate. Then, pour the warm cream evenly over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
4- Stir in the vanilla extract if using, then mix until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until the mixture sets.
5- Scoop the set mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds, or larger if you prefer, and roll each one into balls.
6- Roll the truffles in your desired toppings like cocoa powder or crushed nuts.
7- For the best taste, serve them at room temperature and store them tightly covered at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
