http://ift.tt/1R0t0mG

• Ingredients
• 20oz Good Quality Chocolate 60% Cocoa or more
• 12 oz Heavy Cream
• Cocoa for dusting
• Powdered Sugar for dusting
• Chopping Walnuts for Dusting
• Instructions
• 1. Start by melting the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. If using a microwave heat the chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stir in between cycles.
• 2. Once the chocolate is melted add your cream and stir until everything is combined.
• 3. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• 4. Lay out two cookie sheets lined with wax or parchment paper. * 5. Take the truffle mixture out of the refrigerator and start scooping with a 1” cookie scoop.
• 6. Form into balls with your hands. This process is really messy. Place the chocolate balls onto cookie sheets.
• 7. Cover the chocolate truffles with cocoa, chopped walnuts, or powdered sugar.
• The easiest way to coat them is in a Ziploc bag. Put a few tablespoons of topping into a bag along with the truffle and then shake. They will be coated in seconds.
• This recipe will make 40-45 chocolate truffles.
• If you don’t want that many truffles use less chocolate and adjust the amount of heavy cream. The heavy cream is about ½ the amount of chocolate used.
