Simple Chocolate Truffles Recipe

Rich, creamy, and decadent, chocolate truffles are an easy-to-make dessert perfect for any occasion. Customize them with various coatings for added flair.

Ingredients (Makes about 20 truffles):

  • 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet), finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Coating Options:

  • Cocoa powder
  • Finely chopped nuts (e.g., pistachios, hazelnuts, or almonds)
  • Shredded coconut
  • Powdered sugar
  • Sprinkles

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Cream:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

  2. Melt the Chocolate:

    • Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  3. Add Flavorings:

    • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. You can also add liqueurs (e.g., Grand Marnier or Kahlua) for a flavored truffle.

  4. Chill the Ganache:

    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to shape.

  5. Shape the Truffles:

    • Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to portion out the ganache. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms. Work quickly to prevent the ganache from melting.

  6. Coat the Truffles:

    • Roll the truffles in your chosen coating, such as cocoa powder, nuts, or coconut. Place them on a parchment-lined tray as you work.

  7. Set and Serve:

    • Refrigerate the coated truffles for another 15-20 minutes to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips and Variations:

  • Milk or White Chocolate Truffles: Substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate but reduce the cream slightly to maintain a firm texture.
  • Infused Ganache: Infuse the cream with tea leaves, herbs, or spices (e.g., Earl Grey, lavender, or cinnamon). Strain before pouring over the chocolate.
  • Decorative Touch: Drizzle melted chocolate over the coated truffles for a polished look.
