HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES RECIPE



Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe image

These homemade chocolate truffles are extra creamy with the addition of butter. After mixing the ingredients together, let the mixture set in the refrigerator, then roll into balls. You can coat in your favorite toppings and add lots of fun flavors, too! The mixture gets a little sticky, so refer back to my tips in the blog post above.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

two 4-ounce quality chocolate bars (226g), very finely chopped*
2/3 cup (160ml) heavy cream*
optional: 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
optional: 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
toppings: unsweetened cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, melted or tempered chocolate

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the heavy cream until it is simmering. You can heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Add the butter, if using, to the chocolate and pour the heavy cream evenly on top. Let the warm cream and chocolate sit for 5 minutes minutes. Add the vanilla extract then stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (to avoid condensation) and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Tip: Pour into a flat shallow dish, such as a 8×8 inch baking pan, so the mixture evenly and quickly sets.
  • Scoop the set truffle mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds. This cookie scoop is the perfect size. For larger truffles, 1 Tablespoon size mounds. Roll each into balls. This gets a little sticky, so see my tips above.
  • Roll each into toppings, if desired. Truffles taste best at room temperature!
  • Cover tightly and store truffles at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the chocolate and cream mixture. Overmixing can cause the chocolate to seize up and become grainy.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to drop the truffle mixture onto the baking sheet. This will help you make evenly sized truffles.
  • Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.
  • Use a variety of toppings to decorate the truffles. Some popular options include cocoa powder, chopped nuts, sprinkles, and edible glitter.

Conclusion:

These true love truffles are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and delicious truffles that will impress your friends and family.
