Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and heavy cream. Stir gently until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate and butter have fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Add a pinch of sea salt and vanilla extract. Stir to combine well.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it starts to thicken slightly but is still soft enough to pipe.
Step 9
Transfer the chocolate mixture into a piping bag fitted with a wide round nozzle or simply use a spoon.
Step 10
Pipe or spoon small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 11
Chill the pralines in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until they set completely.

Once set, sift cocoa powder over the pralines for a beautiful finish.
