Dark Chocolate Truffles

A chocolate lover’s dream come true.

Makes 2 cups ganache / 32 truffles

Preparation: 5 - 10 minutes, plus about 2 hours for chilling

and 15 - 20 minutes to shape and dust the truffles

1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process	3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon heavy cream
cocoa	2	tablespoons unsalted butter

15ounces good quality bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate such as Ghirardelli, Lindt or Callebaut, broken into 1-inch pieces, chilled

3tablespoons brandy or other liqueur 1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla

Insert the metal blade. Pulse to sift the cocoa; remove and reserve. Pulse to finely chop the chocolate, 20 to 30 times. Heat the cream in a saucepan or in the microwave until it is just bubbling at the edges. Stir in the butter. With the machine running, pour the mixture down the small feed tube and process until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.

Scrape the work bowl.

With the machine running, add the brandy and vanilla; process to incorporate, about 10 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap placed directly on the chocolate. Refrigerate until firm.

Divide the ganache into 32 equal portions. Shape into imperfect balls. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Dip the balls into the cocoa to coat lightly. Refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for a month, well wrapped. If necessary, redust the truffles in the cocoa.
