Ingredients
Scale
For the Truffles
- 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For Coating
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the sugar-free dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring frequently until fully melted and smooth.
- Incorporate Heavy Cream: Add the heavy cream to the melted chocolate and stir vigorously until the mixture is silky and well combined.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor and balance the sweetness.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 30 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
- Form Truffles: Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and quickly roll into small, smooth balls with your hands.
- Coat with Cocoa Powder: Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder, ensuring an even coating for a delicate bitterness that complements the sweetness.
- Final Chill: Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality sugar-free chocolate chips for the best taste and texture.
- If the mixture becomes too soft to roll, chill it longer to firm up.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For variation, try rolling truffles in crushed nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
- Handle truffles quickly when rolling to prevent melting from body heat.
