These chocolate truffles are silky, richly chocolatey, and utterly satisfying. Ideal for gifting or indulging.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate bars, very finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
  • Sprinkles (for topping)
  • Crushed nuts (for topping)
  • Melted or tempered chocolate (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the very finely chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and set it aside.
  2. Heat the heavy cream until it is simmering, either on the stove or in the microwave.
  3. If using, add the butter to the chopped chocolate, then pour the hot heavy cream evenly on top.
  4. Allow the mixture of warm cream and chocolate to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the vanilla extract, if using, and stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Cover the surface of the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  7. Once set, scoop out the truffle mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds and roll each portion into balls.
  8. Roll each truffle in your desired toppings, such as cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, or melted chocolate.
  9. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Use a small cookie scoop or two teaspoons to keep all truffles similar in size. Store truffles in an airtight container.
