How to Make Ghirardelli Sinful Chocolate Truffles

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 12 ounces Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth and melted.
  3. In a medium skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a gentle simmer.
  4. Place the saucepan with the chocolate mixture into the skillet (double boiler method).
  5. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Pour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder into a pie plate or shallow dish.
  10. Line an airtight container with waxed paper.
  11. Dip a melon baller or small spoon into a glass of warm water, then quickly scoop out approximately 1-inch balls of the chilled truffle mixture.
  12. Drop the truffle balls into the cocoa powder, gently rolling to coat.
  13. Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture.
  14. Gently shake the pie plate to ensure even cocoa powder coating.
  15. Transfer the coated truffles to the prepared container, separating layers with additional waxed paper.
  16. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
