How to Make To Die For Truffles
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 8 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This should take about 2-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- Once firm, using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, shape the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the truffles in your desired topping (e.g., cocoa powder, chopped nuts, sprinkles, melted chocolate).
- Refrigerate the finished truffles for another 30 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
