How to Make Green Tea Truffles

  1. Place 6 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat 1/2 cup of half-and-half over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  3. Remove from heat and add 2 green tea bags.
  4. Steep for 5 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse the half-and-half.
  5. Gently squeeze the tea bags over the half-and-half to extract maximum flavor before discarding.
  6. Return the infused half-and-half to a low simmer.
  7. Pour the hot half-and-half over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
  8. Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. The mixture should be glossy and well combined.
  9. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for at least 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to prevent a skin from forming. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape.
  10. Once the mixture has thickened, use a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop to measure out 2-teaspoon portions.
  11. Roll each portion between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
  12. Place 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow dish.
  13. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
  14. Gently shake off any excess cocoa powder.
  15. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
