How to Make Decadent Dark Chocolate Truffles
- Place the chopped Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
- Whisk the cream and chocolate together until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the softened butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture.
- Roll the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Dust the truffles generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Optional: Garnish with sea salt flakes, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
