Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for coating

Instructions
 

  • Pour the heavy cream and butter into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla extract and stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours until the ganache firms up. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the chilled ganache to form mounds.
  • Refrigerate the mounds for 20 minutes, then roll them between your hands to form a ball. Then, roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder to coat.
