Ingredients:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Powdered sugar (quantity as needed)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather your semisweet chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, and powdered sugar. Make sure you have enough powdered sugar for coating the truffles.
-
-
Combine Chocolate and Cream: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. This creamy chocolate mixture is the heart and soul of your truffles.
-
Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. The heat will melt the chocolate and blend it smoothly with the cream, creating a luscious fudge mixture.
-
Stir: After microwaving, carefully remove the bowl and give the mixture a good stir. This ensures that the chocolate and cream are evenly combined, resulting in a rich, velvety texture.
-
Additional Microwaving (if needed): Depending on your microwave’s power, you may need to heat the mixture for an additional 15 seconds. Stir the mixture after each additional heating until it is completely melted and smooth.
-
Chill: Once the fudge mixture is smooth and well-combined, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours. This step is crucial for firming up the mixture, making it easier to shape into truffles.
-
Shape into Balls: After chilling, remove the fudge mixture from the refrigerator. Using a spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. The chilled mixture should be easy to handle and shape.
-
Coat with Powdered Sugar: Roll each fudge ball in powdered sugar until it is completely coated. The powdered sugar adds a sweet finish and prevents the truffles from sticking together.
-
Store: Place the coated truffles on a plate or tray, making sure they are not touching each other. Cover the truffles with plastic wrap or a lid and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy these Dark Fudge Truffles as a decadent dessert after a meal.
- Serve them at parties or gatherings to impress your guests with their rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Pair them with a glass of red wine or a cup of coffee for a sophisticated treat.
Tips:
- For a variation, try rolling the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles instead of powdered sugar.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to customize the flavor of your truffles.
- Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
