Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 20 grams unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a medium 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

Remove the cream from heat and immediately stir in the instant espresso powder until fully dissolved.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Using a rubber spatula, begin stirring the mixture from the center outward until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring until the butter is fully incorporated and the ganache is glossy.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.

Step 8

Prepare a shallow dish with the cocoa powder for rolling the truffles.

Step 9

Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the ganache and roll them into 1-inch balls between your palms.

Step 10

Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly. Shake off any excess powder.

Step 11

Place the truffles on a lined baking sheet or in a container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Step 12

Serve chilled or at room temperature as an elegant treat!
