Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 20 whole almonds or hazelnuts, toasted
- 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder, for rolling
Instructions
- Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate, let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Add butter and vanilla, stir until combined. Let ganache cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop a small amount of ganache, press a nut into the center, and shape into a ball. Repeat with remaining ganache and nuts.
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- For best flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- Toast nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
- If ganache is too soft to shape, refrigerate longer.
