These delicious chocolate truffles only require four ingredients and are easy for anyone to make. They are smooth, creamy, and taste even better since they are homemade!
Ingredients:
⅞ cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
½ tsp vanilla extract
Toppings: unsweetened cocoa powder, sprinkles, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar
Instructions:
1. Heat the cream in a pot until it starts to steam. Put the chopped-up chocolate in a bowl, pour the hot cream on top, and stir until chocolate is melted and incorporated into the cream.
2. Chill until solid all the way through, 1 to 2 hours. Using a chilled scooper or your hands, scoop out about a tablespoonful of the ganache and quickly roll it into a ball. Repeat, lining truffles on a plate or a baking sheet.
3. If the truffles become too soft to handle, place them in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes. Roll the chocolate balls in cocoa powder, sprinkles, powdered sugar, or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
4. Best when enjoyed immediately!
