Basic Chocolate Truffles image

A rich, decadent, and basic chocolate truffle recipe that's easy to make and perfect for a dark chocolate lover. The truffles are creamy and just melt in your mouth.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c heavy cream
10 oz dark chocolate, chopped
3 Tbsp unsatled butter
3 Tbsp alcohol of your choice

Steps:

  • 1. Bring cream to a boil.
  • 2. Place the chocolate and the butter into a bowl.
  • 3. Pour hot cream over the chocolate and LET SET 2 MINUTES.
  • 4. After 2 minutes, whisk and then add the alcohol.
  • 5. Allow the ganache to firm up.
  • 6. After the ganache has set, pipe out the truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in equal amounts (you can also use a small ice cream type scoop, but these make much larger truffles). Let set until firm (about 30-45 minutes).
  • 7. Using rubber gloves and cocoa powder, roll the firm ganache into balls. They don't have to be perfectly round, as they will be rolled again. Use the cocoa powder to keep the ganache from sticking to your gloves.
  • 8. Chill, then roll again.
  • 9. Let truffles come to room temperature before dipping, then decorating.

I followed the recipe carefully, but my truffles didn't turn out as expected. They were too soft and didn't hold their shape.

I was disappointed with these truffles. They were too sweet for my taste and the texture was a bit grainy.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing and the instructions were not very clear. I ended up having to make a few adjustments to get the truffles to turn out right.
