Simple Decadence

This is a truffle recipe that is so good.
It is a very easy crowd pleasing dessert.


Ingredients:

8 ounces of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate (high quality, 62% cacao or higher), well chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

1.In a small, heavy saucepan bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer (this may take a while, be sure to stir and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula every few minutes).

2.Place the chocolate in a separate bowl. Pour the cream over the chocolate slowly, add the vanilla, and allow to stand for a few minutes then stir until smooth

3.Allow the mixture to cool, then place in the refrigerator for two hours. Remove and with a teaspoon roll out balls of the ganache. Roll in your hands quickly (as it will melt from the heat of your hands) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator overnight

4.Roll in cocoa powder or chopped nuts and serve, or place back in the refrigerator until needed.
