🍫 Decadent Chocolate Truffles 🍬
These no-fail, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffles are a must-try treat — silky smooth centers coated in rich chocolate and topped with eye-catching sprinkles, nuts, or cocoa powder for the ultimate indulgence!
Ingredients
For the Ganache Center
🍫 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
🥛 ½ cup heavy cream
🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
🌿 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For the Coating & Toppings
🍫 8 oz (225 g) melted dark, milk, or white chocolate
🍬 Cocoa powder, crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips for decorating
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Ganache 🍫
In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped chocolate and butter. Heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until silky smooth. Stir in vanilla if using.
2️⃣ Chill the Mixture ❄️
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
3️⃣ Shape the Truffles 🍬
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out small portions of ganache and roll into balls with your hands (lightly dusted with cocoa powder if sticky).
4️⃣ Coat the Truffles 🍫
Dip each truffle into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off.
5️⃣ Decorate the Tops ✨
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with toppings of choice: cocoa powder, crushed nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips.
6️⃣ Set & Enjoy 🍽️
Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 15–20 minutes to set. Enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temperature for a melt-in-your-mouth experience!
