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!
Servings: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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!
