Sea Salt Chocolate Truffles
Yield: 2 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- cocoa powder, as needed
Directions
- Warm heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until just scalded. (Before it boils, when little air bubbles appear around the edge of the saucepan.)
- Place chocolate chips in a large bowl and pour hot cream over them. Whisk until totally smooth and melted.
- Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt, then pour melted chocolate into a shallow dish and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until chilled.
- Use a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out truffles. If using a spoon, roll truffles between your palms to create a ball, then roll them in cocoa powder.
- Repeat with remaining chocolate, then transfer truffles to fridge to chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
