Here’s a recipe for a sweet and indulgent treat, chocolate truffles:
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, for rolling
Directions:
- Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just comes to a boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
- Using a whisk or spatula, stir the chocolate and cream mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the butter and stir until it is completely melted and incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture is firm enough to scoop, about 2 hours.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out small balls of the chocolate mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth truffles.
- Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
