Ingredients:
– 200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
– 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for rolling
– Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
2. Add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the hot cream. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate.
3. Gently whisk the cream and chocolate mixture until smooth and well combined. If needed, you can briefly return the mixture to low heat to melt any remaining chocolate, stirring constantly.
4. Stir in the finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves and sea salt. The rosemary will infuse its aromatic flavor into the ganache.
5. Transfer the ganache to a shallow dish and cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the ganache to prevent a skin from forming.
6. Chill the ganache in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, until it becomes firm but still pliable.
7. Once the ganache has set, use a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll into small truffle-sized balls between your palms.
8. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly, giving them a rich outer layer.
9. Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat the rolling process until all the ganache is used.
10. Garnish each truffle with a small sprig of fresh rosemary for a decorative touch.
11. Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
