Ingredients

• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 100ml heavy cream
• 50g unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it starts to steam. Be careful not to let it boil, we don’t want any accidents in the kitchen!
2. Remove the cream from the heat and add in the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to melt, then stir until smooth. This is where the magic happens, folks!
3. Cover the chocolate mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This will help it firm up so we can shape our tartufi.
4. Once the chocolate mixture is firm, use a spoon to scoop out small portions and shape them into balls. It’s like playing with edible playdough!
5. Roll the chocolate balls in the unsweetened cocoa powder until they are fully coated. This will give them that classic truffle look.
6. Place the finished tartufi on a plate and refrigerate until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed chilled, just like a snow cone on a hot summer day!
