Time 2h25m

Yield 30 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, baking bars (broken into 1/4 inch pieces)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter.
  • In a medium sized skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a slow simmer. Set the saucepan in the skillet over low heat. Stir mixture just until chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Pour the cocoa into a pie plate. Line an airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller or small spoon into a glass of warm water and quickly scrape across the surface of the chilled truffle mixture to form a rough 1-inch ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa.
  • Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture. Gently shake the pie plate to coat truffles evenly.
  • Transfer truffles to the prepared container, separating layers with additional waxed paper. Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h53m

Yield 60 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound good bittersweet chocolate such as Lindt
1/2 pound good semisweet chocolate such as Ghiradelli
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, optional
1 tablespoon prepared coffee
1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar
Cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolates finely with a sharp knife. Place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just boils. Turn off the heat and allow the cream to sit for 20 seconds. Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with chocolate. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the Grand Marnier, if using, coffee, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • With 2 teaspoons, spoon round balls of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm. Roll each dollop of chocolate in your hands to roughly make a round ball. Roll in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, or both. These will keep refrigerated for weeks, but serve at room temperature.

  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Chill your truffles before dipping them in chocolate: This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use anything from nuts and sprinkles to dried fruit and sea salt to decorate your truffles.
  • Store your truffles in the refrigerator: Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
