Easy Red Wine Truffles

Recipe by becky

  • Total Time1 1/2 hours (including chilling time)
  • Yield12-14 1-inch truffles 1x

A 4 ingredient red wine truffles recipe made with wine, cocoa, dark chocolate, and cream.

Ingredients

Scale

130 grams dark chocolate couverture (4 1/2 ounces, or about 1 cup)
60 milliliters red wine (1/4 cup)
30 milliliters whipping cream (2 tablespoons)
Cocoa powder, for rolling the truffles


Instructions

Line a quarter sheet tray with parchment.

Melt dark chocolate over a bain marie or double boiler.

Meanwhile, combine red wine and whipping cream in a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat. Do not boil.

Whisk the warm cream mixture into the melted chocolate. Remove from heat.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1-2 hours, or until ganache is firm enough to scoop.

Use a melon baller or small cookie scoop to portion the chilled ganache, using your hands to smooth and shape each portion into a round ball.

Roll balls in cocoa powder. Arrange on prepared tray. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Roll chilled truffles in a second coating of cocoa powder prior to serving. Serve in paper truffle cups.

Store leftover red wine truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Re-roll in cocoa powder and allow to stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

 

Notes

You can make your truffles in any size you’d like. I made mine about 1 inch in diameter.
