• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Step 2

2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Step 4

Step 5

5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the ganache in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 6

6. Once chilled, use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the ganache. Roll each portion into a ball using the palms of your hands.

Step 7

7. Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.

Step 8

8. Transfer the coated truffles to a plate or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
