Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Place 12 oz of chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
- Gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir until the butter is melted and all ingredients are well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each truffle.
- Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
