Ingredients
-
200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
-
120 ml heavy cream (full-fat)
-
40 g unsweetened cocoa powder (for rolling)
Instructions
-
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it into a heatproof bowl.
-
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer (do not boil).
-
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Cover and let sit for 3–5 minutes.
-
Whisk from the center outward until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
-
Transfer the ganache to a shallow bowl, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-
Once firm, scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls.
-
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until evenly coated.
-
Store chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate bars, not chips, for best texture.
- If ganache softens while rolling, return it to the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Truffles keep well refrigerated for up to 7 days or frozen for 1 month.
