Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate (60% cacao or higher)
  • 100ml heavy cream
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 30g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Coatings and Add-Ins

  • Cocoa powder, crushed nuts (pistachios or almonds), shredded coconut, crushed cookies, or colored sprinkles for coating
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (for spiced variation)
  • Dried cherries or orange zest (for fruit-infused variation)
  • For vegan version: substitute heavy cream with 100ml coconut cream and butter with 50g vegan margarine

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces to ensure even melting. Melt the chocolate and butter together gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  2. Add Cream and Flavorings: Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it simmers. Slowly pour the warm cream into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring continuously. Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Chill for Consistency: Cover the chocolate mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle. This step is essential for shaping the balls without them melting.
  4. Shape and Coat: Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into smooth balls between your palms. Immediately roll each ball in your choice of coating such as cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut.
  5. Final Chill and Serve: Place the coated balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour to set firmly. Serve chilled for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

  • Use premium dark chocolate (60% cacao or higher) for optimum flavor.
  • Chill your hands or wear gloves to prevent the mixture from melting while shaping.
  • Do not skip the chilling steps to achieve perfect consistency.
  • Experiment with different coatings to add texture and enhance presentation.
  • Store the chocolate balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
