Critical Success Points

  • Melt the dark chocolate without burning it
  • Cool the melted chocolate to about 35 °C before incorporating
  • Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 4 hours to firm up
  • Roll the balls uniformly (20 g each)
  • Coat the truffles properly to avoid chocolate cracks

Safety Warnings

  • Melted chocolate is very hot; handle with care.
  • Use the immersion blender while avoiding contact with your fingers.
  • Watch out for splashes of hot chocolate in the microwave.
