Dark Chocolate Truffles Recipe

It doesn't get any simpler--or more delicious--than this. Dark chocolate and cream come together to form divine, melt-in-your-mouth Dark Chocolate Truffles. Use good-quality chocolate for the best results. A tablespoon of rum or brandy can be added in with the Vanilla, if desired. These candies, like most truffles, have several extensive chilling periods, so make sure you leave enough time when making them.Be sure to check out the photo tutorial with step-by-step instructions showing How to Make Truffles.

Ingredients

* 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
* 2/3 cup cream
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder


Preparation

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place the Chop Chocolate in a large bowl.

2. Place the cream in a small saucepan and scald it until bubbles being to appear around the sides of the pan. Pour the cream over the chocolate and allow it to soften and melt the chocolate for one minute.

3. Using a whisk, gently stir to incorporate the cream and chocolate. Add the vanilla and stir until well-combined, but do not stir too vigorously or you will incorporate air bubbles.

4. Cover the truffle mixture with cling wrap and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate until it is firm enough to spoon, about 2 hours.

5. Using a teaspoon or cookie dough scoop, form small 1-inch balls from the ganache and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ganache. Return to the refrigerator to chill for another hour.

6. Place the cocoa powder in a small bowl or pie tin. Dust your hands with cocoa powder and place a truffle in the cocoa, rolling it until it is coated. Roll the truffle briefly between your palms to form a round shape, then place it back on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining truffles.

7. If you have different varieties/shades of Cocoa Powder, you can experiment with rolling the truffles in two different cocoas, creating stripes or dots of different colors. Truffles can also be topped with chocolate shavings. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and bring them to room temperature before serving.

    This recipe does not seem complete. How do you get a liquid center with two different shades of hardened chocolate coating?

    No joke! This sounds like just a regular recipe for ganache center of a truffle!! Where is the recipe that goes with the picture!!!

    Yeah this recipe doesn't go with the truffles in the picture

    Made my own candy coating by melting almond bark in a bowl placed over boiling water, dipped the truffles after rolling them in the cocoa powder, place in waxed paper and refrigerate until I was ready to serve them. Looks like the picture now.
