Instructions
Step 1
Start by finely chopping the dark chocolate. Place the chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and unsalted butter together over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and allow it to sit for a minute. This will help the chocolate melt evenly.
Step 2
After waiting for a minute, use a spatula to gently mix until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If desired, add your choice of flavor variations at this stage and mix well.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to handle.
Step 3
Once the mixture has chilled, use a small scoop or your hands to form small balls, about the size of a tablespoon. This is the fun part!
Roll each ball in your palms to make them smooth. If you are using the prune, Parmesan, or hazelnut variations, mix them into the chocolate before forming the balls.
Step 4
After shaping the truffles, roll them in cocoa powder or any desired coating, such as chopped nuts or chocolate flakes, for added texture and flavor.
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return them to the refrigerator for another hour to set.
Step 5
Your delicious chocolate truffles are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful treat during special occasions or simply indulge yourself.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer, where they can last up to 3 months. Enjoy!
