Ingredients
- 250 grams Dark chocolate chips (gluten-free)
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 40 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by preparing the chocolate ganache filling. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
2. Place the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over them. Allow it to sit for about 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Step 3
3. Stir the mixture gently until smooth and fully combined. Add the butter and vanilla extract, and continue stirring until the butter is melted and incorporated.
Step 4
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Step 5
5. Once the ganache is ready, use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to scoop small portions and roll them into balls using your palms. Place the rolled balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
6. Put the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the bon bons to firm up.
Step 7
7. For coating, place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Take each chocolate bon bon and roll it in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
Step 8
8. Slightly sprinkle sea salt over each bon bon as a final touch for flavor enhancement.
Step 9
9. Once coated, store the gluten-free chocolate bon bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
