How to Make Chocolate Truffles
Adapt Chef John’s easy chocolate truffle recipe to any flavor whim you like, including his favorite gingerbread spice version for the holidays.
Add chocolate chips to a heat-proof mixing bowl; add ginger cinnamon black pepper salt and cayenne.
Heat cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
Immediately remove from heat and pour hot cream over chocolate.
Shake bowl slightly to fully cover the chocolate; let sit for 2 minutes.
Slowly whisk until well combined and a thick glossy ganache forms.
Cover ganache with plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature or until firm enough to scoop about 15 minutes.
Form about 2 teaspoons of the ganache into balls using a small sorbet scoop or roll by hand.
Place balls onto a baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper.
Refrigerate until cold and firm about 15 minutes then re-roll as needed to smoothen.
