Instructions

Chop the Chocolate

Finely chop the sugar-free dark chocolate into uniform pieces and place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl. The finer the chop, the smoother your ganache will be.

Heat the Cream

In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it come to a full boil. Remove from heat immediately and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of sea salt.

Create the Ganache

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt gently. After 5 minutes, whisk slowly starting from the center and moving outwards until the mixture is glossy and smooth.

Chill and Form

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop. Once firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out bite-sized portions. Roll them quickly between your palms to form balls.

Dust and Serve

Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve slightly chilled.
