Ingredients
Truffle Base
- 1 cup caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 8 ounces chocolate Bittersweet or semi-sweet for coating
- to taste flaky sea salt For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the caramel sauce, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
Rolling Truffles
- After chilling, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture and roll each scoop into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter.
Coating
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on each truffle before the chocolate hardens.
- Let sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets or refrigerate to speed up the process.
Notes
Using high-quality chocolate for coating is crucial for the best flavor. Be cautious not to over-mix the truffle base, and ensure proper chilling time for easier rolling.
