Chocolate Truffles
Description
This Chocolate Truffles recipe uses heavy cream gently heated with semisweet chocolate disks (not chips or bars) to create a glossy ganache. After microwaving and allowing the mixture to sit, whisking produces a smooth, shiny base. Chilling it for at least four hours firms the ganache for shaping. Using a tablespoon scoop helps portion uniform truffles, which are rolled in either cocoa powder or powdered sugar to finish.
The resulting truffles have a velvety texture with deep chocolate richness moderated by the dairy cream. They are straightforward to prepare with minimal ingredients and steps, requiring only chilling time before assembly.
These truffles serve well as an elegant treat for gatherings or gifts and can be stored chilled to maintain firmness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 21 ounces semisweet chocolate not chocolate chips, disks or bar form
- 2 cups cocoa powder or powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add the heavy cream and chocolate disks to a large microwave safe bowl and microwave for 3 minutes then let sit for 3-4 minutes before whisking for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Place saran wrap over the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Using a tablespoon scoop make 1 tablespoon sized balls that you drop into either cocoa powder or powdered sugar and rolls into smooth balls.
Notes
- Use high-quality semisweet chocolate disks for smooth ganache texture.
- Chill the ganache until firm enough to scoop easily, at least 4 hours.
- Roll truffles gently in cocoa powder or powdered sugar to coat evenly without melting.
