Chocolate truffles are an impressive dessert to bring with you to a party! The best part about it is that there are only two ingredients that go into making them, plus toppings of your choice. So if you want to make your own chocolate truffles this holiday season, follow the intractable below or watch the step by step video tutorial here:

Step 1: Tools and Ingredients

Ingredients

8 ounces 64% Chocolate
½ cup (120 ml) Heavy Cream

For the Coating

Powdered Sugar
Dutch Cocoa Powder
Sprinkles
Crushed Candy Canes
or any other toppings of your choice

Tools

All Clad Sauce Pan 3qt
Spiral Whisk
Pyrex Mixing Bowl
gloves (for rolling)
spatula
containers for toppings

Step 2: Chop the Chocolate

Finely chop the chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl.

Step 3: Heat the Heavy Cream

Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and heat the cream until it just simmers.

Step 4: Pour Over Chocolate

Pour the cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Step 5: Stir

Gently stir the mixture together until smooth and shiny. It will come to together fairly quickly and with little effort, just keep staring. It should be nice and silky smooth when it's all done with no clumps.

Step 6: Cover and Chill

Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate and place into refrigerator for 3 hours to chill. While you wait for the ganache to chill, prepare your coatings and place each one on separate bowls.

Step 7: Get Messy and Roll

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. After 3 hours remove filling from refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out ganache and roll into balls using gloves.

Step 8: Add Toppings

Place balling unto sheet with parchment paper. Once you have rolled out all the balls, dip and roll the truffles in which ever coating you like. Enjoy!
