There are a number of ways you can use chocolate ganache in your recipes, like tarts, pies, cakes, etc. and these chocolate ganache truffles are definitely my favorite way. These dark chocolate truffles are unlike anything else in the food world. They are so simple to make, and they’re also the best food gift you can give to someone. They’re just perfect in every way.
All you need to make these beauties is a 75% cocoa dark chocolate and double cream. The ratio that gives you the best result, when it comes to creaminess and taste is 2 parts of dark chocolate to 1 part of the double cream. If you want your dark chocolate truffles to be softer and milder, just add more cream.

Adding a little bit of liqueur makes them even better. I like adding any kind of creamy liqueur (like Baileys) but you can try others as well. Also, one little bird told me that the sour cherry liqueur is also a great option (wink, wink).
For coating, you can use whatever you like! No really, just use what you have on hand. You can use any type of toasted ground nuts, like walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds, peanuts etc. Also, great options are cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground coconut, ground dried fruits, and all of them will give you a variety of flavors and colors. If that doesn’t make the dark chocolate truffles the emperor of the sweets, I don’t know what does!
If I could give you one of these beauties to try now – I would! They’re sooooo delicious. So, what are you waiting for? Go to the kitchen and make your own dark chocolate truffles. You won’t regret it, I promise.
