Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Dark Chocolate Truffles.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend together the finely chopped dark chocolate, chipotle pepper, and a dash of salt for a delightful kick.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy whipping cream over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble softly.
Step 3
Once it reaches a gentle boil, pour the hot cream over the chocolate mixture and allow it to rest for three minutes, letting the heat work its magic.
Step 4
After the wait, stir the mixture with care until it transforms into a silky, smooth blend.
Step 5
Next, transfer this luscious chocolate concoction onto a sheet of plastic wrap laid out on a clean surface.
Step 6
Shape the chocolate into a rough log, rolling it tightly in the wrap.
Step 7
Pop it into the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes, allowing it to firm up beautifully.
Step 8
When the time is up, take the chocolate log out of the fridge and unwrap it.
Step 9
Slice the log in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise into quarters.
Step 10
Finally, chop the chocolate into rustic 1/2-inch squares.
Step 11
For the finishing touch, place cocoa powder in a small bowl and gently toss each chocolate square in it, ensuring an even coating.
Step 12
Enjoy these decadent treats that blend rich chocolate with a hint of spice, perfect for any occasion.
