Time 3h40m

Yield 15 to 20 candies, depending on size

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces good-quality (70 percent) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring the cream just to a simmer over medium-low to low heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand about 10 minutes to melt the chocolate.
  • Add the vanilla and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Then beat the chocolate at medium speed, using an electric mixer, until it is thick and light colored. If the chocolate has cooled enough, it will be ready to form truffles right away. If the chocolate is still too soft to hold its shape when rolled in a ball, spread over the bottom of a baking dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate until firmed, but still scoopable, up to 2 hours.
  • Pour the cocoa powder onto a deep plate or shallow bowl. Use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to scoop out balls of chocolate and gently roll into a ball. Place them on the plate with the cocoa powder and roll between 2 forks to completely coat with the cocoa powder. Then use the forks to carefully transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper.
  • If making the truffles a day or two ahead of time, let them stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.

These truffles were a disappointment. They were too hard and the flavor was bland.

I found these truffles to be too rich and heavy. I couldn't finish one in one sitting.

These truffles were good, but not great. They were a bit too sweet for my taste.

These truffles were delicious! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. I used a combination of dark chocolate and milk chocolate, and they were both amazing.

Yum! These truffles were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I used a combination of dark chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips, and they were the perfect sweetness. I also added a little bit of espresso powder to the ganache, whic
