The classic chocolate truffle. Always in demand. Can also be used as a bittersweet chocolate ganache for any recipe requiring ganache.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Directions

  • Heat the cream almost to a boil. Put the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl, pour the hot cream over it, and whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (Hint: up until this point, this is just a simple ganache). Allow to cool and harden. When ganache is solid enough to manipulate, scoop into 1″ balls and roll in cocoa. Makes about 24 truffles or 2/3 cup of ganache.

Notes

  • Recipe adapted from Fine Cooking Magazine, Winter 2003 issue.

Once the ganache was at room temperature, I grated fresh orange rind and added some instant coffee granules.(1T. of each) Subtle overtones made it very tasty and enhanced the chocolate flavor.

Wow...This is an amazing recipe. I found it the other day, and love it. It is very easy to make with great results!

Couldn't tell when it was hard enough to roll... They looked like rocks rather than balls.
