Instructions
- Place the chocolate in a large bowl.
- Place the cream in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until cream is steaming, but not boiling.
- Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate. Let the mixture sit for 3 minutes.
- Stir the cream and chocolate together until a smooth and shiny ganache forms. If you have any lumps of chocolate in your ganache, you can microwave the bowl of chocolate for 20 seconds, then stir again until smooth.
- Cover the chocolate mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining chocolate. If the chocolate gets too soft and starts to melt, you can chill it until it becomes easier to work with again. I recommend using gloves as your hands will get dirty!
- Roll the balls of chocolate in the toppings of your choice. Place the truffles on a sheet pan lined with parchment and chill until firm. After the truffles are firm, you can transfer them to an airtight container.
- Store your truffles in the fridge, and place the truffles at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before you plan to serve them.
