Chocolate confections Recipe

French · Dessert · 20 min total

These homemade chocolate confections are rich, creamy, and perfect for gifting or indulging. Simple to make with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

• 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
• 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
• 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder, for coating

Instructions

1. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Gently stir until smooth and fully melted.
4. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, until firm enough to scoop.
6. Using a small melon baller or teaspoon, scoop the chocolate mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
7. Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until coated.
8. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• For variety, roll truffles in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or powdered sugar instead of cocoa.
• Let truffles sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
