Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate truffles are one of my favorite recipes to make around the holidays! Picture a rich chocolate ganache, solidified and covered in cocoa powder. These decadent treats are so addicting and surprisingly easy to make!

Keyword: chocolate truffles
Servings: 24 truffles
- 2 4oz bars (200g) high quality chocolate I like milk chocolate, but use your favorite
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup (40g) cocoa powder
Chop your chocolate bars into small, uniform sized pieces and place into a glass bowl.
Add your heavy whipping cream to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 mintute or until the heavy cream is boiling.
Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate. DO NOT STIR.
Allow the the heavy cream covering the chopped chocolate to sit for 5 minutes.
After everything has sat for 5 minutes, vigorously stir the mixture until it is thick and smooth.
Place the bowl into the fridge and let it completely cool and set up.
Using a small cookie scoop, portion the truffle mixture into small 2 tsp portions and place onto a parchment paper or silicone lined cookie sheet.
Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture.
Place the pan into the fridge and chill the mixture for an additional 30 minutes.
Once the truffles have chilled, roll each truffle until it is a smooth ball.
Immediately roll into the cocoa powder. Enjoy!
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
