Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 oz baking chocolate (100% chocolate)
- 1/4 cup sweetener, to taste (see section above for options)
- 1/4 cup whipping cream (see above for info on how to make probiotic truffles)
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder as a coating
Instructions
- Place a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water on the stove.
- Melt the chocolate and sweetener together.
- When fully melted, remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the whipping cream.
- Place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes, until the chocolate starts to harden.
- Use a spoon to scoop out 1 tablespoon of chocolate truffle mixture.
- Working quickly, roll the truffle into a ball shape, then coat in cocoa powder. I find it easiest to chill the truffles after coating, then roll them again into a more spherical shape. It’s hard to form the truffles while they’re still soft.
- Store truffles in a sealed container in the fridge. Truffles will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. However, if you used cultured whipping cream, I recommend enjoying them within 5 days as they will continue to ferment! You can also freeze truffles for long-term storage.
Notes
- This simple recipe is perfect for all sorts of flavors. Nutty, mint, or liquor. See the section above for more details.
- For a traditional truffle, use icing sugar as the sweetener. However, there are a lot of sugar-free options that will work as well! See the section above for details.
