Chocolate Truffles
Report
Melt-in-your-mouth Chocolate Truffles are an indulgence worth making from scratch. This easy recipe calls for only 6 simple ingredients!
Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate The better your chocolate, the better your truffles!, high quality
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate high quality
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon coffee prepared
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- cocoa powder for coating, Dutch process
Instructions
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Chop both chocolates into small pieces, about 1/4″ or so. Place chocolates in a medium heat-proof bowl.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream just until it boils. Remove saucepan from heat and let sit for about 30 seconds. Slowly pour hot cream over the chocolate. Whisk mixture gently until combined and completely melted. Add coffee and vanilla and whisk to combine. Set bowl in refrigerator for 25 minutes, then let it sit at room temperature for another 30 minutes.
- Use a small spring-loaded scoop (or a teaspoon) to form mounds of truffle mixture, about 1¼″ in diameter, and place them on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the truffle mixture is used up and you have a full pan of roughly shaped balls. Set pan in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Place cocoa powder in a small bowl. After the mounds have chilled, quickly roll each one in your hands to form a “rough roundness”, not perfect balls. I will gently dent mine here and there if they are looking too perfectly round, to mimic classic truffles. Roll in cocoa powder. I don’t like to eat a mouthful of cocoa powder, so I try to get any excess off by giving the truffles a small gentle toss between my two hands, over the bowl of cocoa powder.
- These store very well for about a week in the refrigerator and can be frozen for about a month. Either way, always bring them to room temperature before serving. If the cocoa powder is absorbed into the truffle, simply roll the truffles in cocoa powder again.
