Equipment
Vanilla Extract
Hershey's Special Dark Baking Cocoa
Ingredients
8
ounces
230 grams chopped semi-sweet chocolate
2/3
cup
160 ml heavy whipping cream
1
teaspoon
instant espresso powder
1/2
teaspoon
vanilla extract
Unsweetened cocoa powder
for rolling
Instructions
Add the chopped chocolate to a heat-safe mixing bowl.
Place the cream in a saucepan and bring it to simmer over low-medium heat.
Once warmed, pour the warmed cream over the chopped chocolate and stir in the espresso powder.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to melt.
Mix it well until the chocolate is melted and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and give it one final mix.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out one ball at a time, gently rolling it into a circle.
Immediately roll in cocoa powder.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set up before serving.
Notes
Buy the best possible quality chocolate when making truffles as you want the chocolate flavor to really shine.
While rolling the chocolate might stick to your palm so dust your palms with some cocoa powder if this happens.
The heat from your hand will start melting the chocolate so you will want to work fast while rolling the balls.
