How to Make Dark Chocolate Truffles

  1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  2. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
  6. Once chilled, roll the mixture into small, 1-inch balls.
  7. Melt the dark chocolate for coating (using the double boiler method again).
  8. Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  9. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
  11. Once set, you can garnish with cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles (optional).
