Makes 20 truffles. Total time includes 2 hours for chilling.
Ingredients
16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Simply Organic® Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Simply Organic® Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic® Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Cloves
- For rolling:
crushed candy canes, cocoa powder, sprinkles, nuts, etc. (make sure any candies or sprinkles are gluten-free if needed)
Directions
- Into a large heat-safe bowl, add chopped chocolate, then set aside.
- Into a small saucepan over medium heat, add heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Heat until just beginning to simmer (do not let it come to a boil), then remove from heat.
- Pour over chopped chocolate and cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours, until chocolate is set.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion truffles into balls, then roll between your hands. For best results, use food-safe gloves (this will get very messy!). If truffles start to melt, transfer to freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Roll truffles in your favorite toppings. Store in refrigerator.
