**Easy Choc Truffles**
**Ingredients:**
– 8 oz. of dark chocolate, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup of heavy cream
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
– Optional coatings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, powdered sugar
**Instructions:**
1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.
2. Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
3. Once the cream is hot, pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
4. Gently whisk the mixture until smooth and shiny. If there are still lumps of chocolate, you can microwave the mixture in short bursts, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Once the chocolate mixture has set, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the mixture.
8. With clean hands, roll each portion into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. If desired, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or powdered sugar for different coatings.
10. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up.
