Categories Milk/Cream Chocolate Dessert Wheat/Gluten-Free Winter Gourmet Kidney Friendly Vegetarian Pescatarian Peanut Free Soy Free Kosher

Yield Makes about 30 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream
9 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
For coating
1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted, and/or 1/2 to 1 cup pecans, ground fine

Steps:

In a dry heavy saucepan (about 3 1/2 quarts) cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork until melted, and swirl pan until sugar is a golden caramel. Remove pan from heat and add cream carefully (mixture will bubble up). Return pan to heat and simmer, stirring, until caramel is dissolved.
Remove pan from heat and add chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Let mixture stand 5 minutes and stir until chocolate is melted. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool, uncovered. Chill mixture, covered, 2 hours, or until firm.
Coat truffles:
Scoop out truffle mixture with a spoon and form into 1-inch balls. Roll truffles in 1/2 cup cocoa powder or coat with 1 cup pecans, pressing nuts slightly to adhere. (Alternatively, roll half of truffles in 1/4 cup cocoa powder and coat remaining truffles with 1/2 cup pecans.) Chill truffles on a tray lined with wax paper until firm, about 1 hour. Truffles keep in an airtight container, chilled, 2 weeks.

Tips:

Use a high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
Don't over-whip the cream. Over-whipping will cause it to become grainy.
Add the caramel and pecans to the chocolate mixture just until they are combined. Over-mixing will cause the truffles to become too soft.
Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them to set properly.
Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate for coating the truffles. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Work quickly when coating the truffles in chocolate. The chocolate will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get them all coated.
Place the coated truffles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them until the chocolate is set.
