Is there anything better than indulging yourself in creamy Chocolate Truffles this holiday season? And if you have self-control, then they also make the cutest homemade gifts. I have no self-control, so I'll be keeping all of them to myself.
Makes 18-20
Ingredients
200 gr semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Pinch of salt
90 ml heavy cream
30 gr unsalted butter, room temp
Options for topping;
Cocoa powder, unsweetened
Pistachio, finely crushed
Coconut, unsweetened and shredded
Freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
Instructions
1. Place chopped chocolate and a pinch of salt in a medium-sized bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, bring cream to boil. Pour cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Whisk to combine until all of the chocolate melted. Let it sit until it reaches 30°C/86°F.
3. Add butter and whisk to combine. Let it sit for an hour to set.
4. Take 2-3 tsp of ganache and shape it into balls. Place truffles into a plate with parchment paper. Let it cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Dip the truffles to the desired toppings and shake the excess off. Enjoy!
