1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cocoa powder or crushed nuts for rolling

Instructions

Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften.
Mix Until Smooth: Stir the mixture until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for about 2 hours until it is firm enough to scoop.
Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the ganache into small balls. Roll each ball in cocoa powder or crushed nuts to coat.
Serve: Place the truffles in a festive box or on a platter. Enjoy your Cupid’s Dark Chocolate Truffles with your special someone.
