Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 ounces Swiss dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate.
- Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and gently stir until smooth and well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the truffles in the unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated.
- Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Once firm, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
