Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, butter, and salt over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir in the chocolate chips until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.
3. Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the chopped almonds and cocoa powder. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the truffle mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining mixture.
6. Bake the truffles for 12-15 minutes, until they are slightly puffed and golden brown on the bottom. Allow the truffles to cool completely before serving.
