Yield Makes 30 to 36 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces good-quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate
2/3 cup heavy cream or nondairy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Dutch processed cocoa powder
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
3 tablespoons finely chopped unsalted pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Finely chop the chocolate by hand or in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, and place in a medium bowl. Pour the cream into a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate. With a wooden spoon, gently stir to melt the chocolate. Don't whisk or stir too strongly or you will incorporate air. Cover. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. With a small melon baller or ice-cream scoop, drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheet. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Place the cocoa, confectioner's sugar, and chopped nuts into 3 separate shallow bowls.
  • Roll 1/3 of the balls into the cocoa mixture, 1/3 into the confectioner's sugar, and 1/3 into the chopped nuts. Quickly roll between your palms to form them into a perfect round shape. You may need to re-roll in the nuts or sugar if too much falls off. Return to parchment-lined baking sheet or other parchment-lined container, in a single layer. Cover with plastic and chill until ready to serve. Can be made 10 days ahead; keep refrigerated.

These truffles were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the chocolate flavor was weak.

These truffles were heavenly! The chocolate ganache was so smooth and creamy, and the cocoa powder coating was the perfect finishing touch.

These truffles were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using a different type of chocolate next time.

These truffles were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I've made these truffles several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're the perfect balance of chocolate and ganache, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.
