Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rolling
  • 1/4 cup crushed nuts optional, for rolling
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut optional, for rolling

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  3. Stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  5. Once the mixture is firm, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  6. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut to coat.
  7. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
