Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 25 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Chop the dark chocolate into fine pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.

Step 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

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then gently stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until the butter is melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2 to 3 hours or until it is firm enough to scoop.

Step 6

Once the ganache is firm, use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion out small balls of the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth truffle balls.

Step 7

Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.

Step 8

Transfer the finished truffles to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
