Instructions
- Start off by cutting your dark chocolate bars into small pieces.
- Heat the heavy cream, butter and extract of choice until about a simmer. (See Note 3)
- Pour it over the chocolate. Allow to rest and melt for a minutes and start stirring. It may look like it's super loose, but give it a minute and keep stirring. It thickens and gets darker, trust me.
- Pour this into a 9x9" lined baking dish (parchment paper, not wax paper). Spread chocolate evenly in dish. Tap the dish gently on the counter top to level out the top of the chocolate and pop it in the freezer for 3 hours uncovered.
- Lift out of pan, dust with cocoa powder and cut into 36 to 64 squares depending on the size you like. (See Note 4)
- Serve at room temp and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- 1 use dark chocolate bars. Be sure it's 60% cacoa or higher. The better the chocolate the better the truffle (I used 70% cacoa in this one). Chop into small pieces to melt easier.You can substitute 3 1/3 cups chocolate chips (each 100gm chocolate bar is about 2/3 cup), which typically have stabilizers in them, but the quality is different.
- I've used vanilla, orange extract, and for these holiday chocolate truffles, I used peppermint extract.
- Do not over heat your cream past 170°F. I have in the past and it was too hot and the chocolate split. I continued to stir but it appeared oily. I fixed this by using my trusty hand blender and emulsified the chocolate back to creamy ganache life.
- I keep dipping and wiping dry my chef knife in hot water while slicing to keep the cuts clean.
