Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • matcha powder
  • optional toppings: nuts, oreos

Instructions

  • Heat pot with 2 cups of water on low/medium heat. The water should not be boiling, only simmering.
  • Add a glass bowl over the pot. Add your chocolate and butter in the glass bowl. Stir the chocolate and butter until fully melted.
  • Take the glass bowl out of the pot and let it cool slightly. Add heavy cream and salt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk until the chocolate is smooth.
  • Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for at least an hour or until the chocolate has hardened.
  • Take the chocolate mixture out of the fridge and wait until chocolate softens a little so its easier to scoop the chocolate with a spoon.
  • Form a small ball (¼ inch) with the chocolate and put in a non-stick surface (parchment paper or foil will do).
  • Roll the ball in matcha or chopped nuts mixture. For matcha, tap off excess matcha powder after rolling. Note: Chopped nuts don't stick well to the truffle as well as matcha powder. Gently press the nuts to the truffle to make it stick.
  • Store truffles in a cool place or refrigerator. Hope you enjoy!
