Salted Dark Chocolate Truffles with a creamy ganache center rolled in melted chocolate.
Ingredients
- 2 8oz bags dark chocolate candy, divided
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
- Pinch of sea salt
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Finely chop 1 entire bag’s worth of dark chocolate candy and place in a heat proof bowl.
- In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat. Watch carefully because you do not want the cream to come to a boil. Once it is hot, steaming, and simmering, carefully pour over your chopped chocolate.
- Add a pinch of sea salt and whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Next, whisk in room temperature butter until glossy and completely combined.
- Transfer chocolate mixture to a shallow dish and refrigerate for about 2 hour or until ganache is firm but scoopable.
- Use a small spring loaded ice cream scoop to portion out 1-inch balls. You may need to scoop and then quickly roll between your hands to form even balls. Tip: Make sure your hands are cool and work quickly to prevent too much melting.
- Place on parchment lined baking sheet and put back into the refrigerator for an hour.
- Meanwhile chop about 1 cup of additional chocolate and place in a microwave proof bowl. When you are ready to dip your truffles, melt the chocolate in 30 second intervals stirring each time until smooth.
- Dip them with a fork into melted chocolate and place on your parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle dipped truffles with sea salt and allow to firm up completely before serving.
- Storage: Truffles can be stored in the fridge covered for up to 1 week.
