- First add ½ cup heavy cream to a sauce pan. Heat it up until is starts to boil, switch off. Remove from flame and set aside.
- To a mixing bowl add 285 grams dark chocolate, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add ½ cup hot cream to it.
- Leave it undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Start mixing top combine.
- Mix until chocolate is combined and melted completely.
- Melted chocolate should be silky smooth and creamy.
- Transfer it immediately to a tray.
- Refrigerate it for minimum 4 hours or even over night.
- After 4 hours, Scoop out the set chocolate on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Set it in fridge for minimum 30 minutes. I freezed it so that it will be easy while rolling.
- Now take and roll it between your palms just few rolls is enough. If you keep on rolling then the chocolate will melt and be messy to coat. This rolling part can become messy so chill and roll.
- Immediately coat in desiccated coconut.
- Now roll over and coat in chopped almonds. You can even use chopped mixed nuts.
- Roll over and coat in cocoa powder.
- Chocolate truffles is ready!
- Refrigerate the chocolate truffles until serving time.

Notes
Use icing sugar for rolling in place of cocoa powder, if you want it sweet.
I used my cookie scoop to scoop out. You can even use a small ice cream scooper or 1 tablespoon measure.
You can use nuts, or any flavors in chocolate for variety of truffles.
You can use other flavors like peppermint, orange, coffee etc.
If you boil the cream it may curdle so just heat it until it starts to boil.
Before rolling the ganache in cocoa powder, it will be sticky. You can use gloves while rolling or chill your hands using an ice pack.
