Description

These super simple (but fancy-looking!) truffles are perfect for gifting, or bringing to a Valentine’s Day party. They combine the fizzy pop of sparkling rosé (or pink champagne) with the bitterness of dark chocolate, and are finished with cocoa powder and a dusting of sparkling pink sugar.


Ingredients

Scale

255 good-quality dark chocolate, chopped (1 1/2 cups / 9 ounces)
95 milliliters sparkling rosé wine (or pink champagne) (1/3 cup)
60 grams whipping cream (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Pink sanding sugar or sparkling sugar (optional)
Edible foil stars (optional)


Instructions

Making the Ganache:

Chop chocolate into small pieces. (If your chocolate came in small discs or wafers, you’re already ready to go!) Melt chocolate over a bain marie or double boiler.

In a separate saucepan, combine rosé, cream, and vanilla and bring to a simmer over medium heat. (Do not boil.)

Pour warm cream mixture over melted chocolate, and stir to combine.

Cover bowl with clingfilm/plastic wrap or foil, and place in the refrigerator until mixture is well-chilled, at least one hour or overnight.

Rolling the Truffles:

Line a tray with a sheet of parchment or a silicone baking mat and set aside. (This is where you’ll place the finished truffles).

Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller to portion the chocolate ganache mixture into scoops, then roll each into a ball.*

Roll each ball in cocoa powder, taking care to ensure that it is coated on all sides. Place on parchment-lined tray.

When all truffles have been rolled and coated in cocoa powder, roll each in a layer of pink sanding sugar or sparkling sugar.** If desired, finish with edible foil stars.

Place finished truffles into a fluted paper cup, and serve!

Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Re-roll in additional cocoa or sanding sugar just prior to serving. Serve at room temperature.

 

Notes

*As written, this recipe makes about 16 – 18 truffles, about 1.25 inches / 3 centimeters in diameter. You can choose to make your truffles a bit smaller or larger, if desired. I’d caution against making them too big, however, as they are quite rich.

**If you don’t want to use sanding sugar, you can roll your truffles in a second layer of cocoa powder instead.
