Ingredients

  • 120 ml 1/2 cup full fat heavy or thickened cream
  • 200 grams 1 and 1/3 cup good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), broken into pieces
  • 40 grams 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Start by finely chopping the dark chocolate with a serrated knife and place it into a heatproof bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream over medium heat until it reaches a simmer—be cautious not to let it boil. The cream should be hot to the touch but not bubbling.
  • Immediately pour the warm cream over the chopped chocolate, covering the bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, allowing the heat to soften the chocolate. Then, whisk the mixture until the chocolate and cream blend into a smooth, shiny ganache.
  • Transfer the ganache to a smaller bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours or until it becomes firm.
  • Once set, sift the cocoa powder into a separate bowl. Using a cookie scoop, measure out about one level tablespoon of ganache for each truffle. Roll each portion between your palms until smooth and round.
  • Toss the truffles in the cocoa powder, ensuring they are fully coated. Place each finished truffle on a plate. Repeat the process until all the ganache is used.
  • Store the truffles in the fridge for optimal freshness.
