Swiss Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 12 ounces Swiss dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and gently stir until smooth and well combined.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
  6. Roll the truffles in the unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated.
  7. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  8. Once firm, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
