Cocoa Dusted Truffle Recipe

French · Dessert · 30 min total

Rich, creamy chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa powder for a classic, indulgent treat. Perfect for gifting or satisfying a sweet craving.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
2. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add butter and vanilla, stir until fully incorporated.
3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared sheet.
5. Place cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until coated. Transfer to a serving plate or airtight container.
6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

• For best flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
• If mixture is too soft to roll, chill longer. If too firm, let sit at room temperature briefly.
• Truffles can be rolled in finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or powdered sugar instead of cocoa.
