Instructions

Make the truffle mixture:
- Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (do not boil).
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Chill the mixture:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Shape the truffles:
- Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to form tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled chocolate.
- Roll each portion between your hands to form a ball.
Coat the truffles:
- Roll the truffles in your chosen coatings (cocoa powder, nuts, sprinkles, or coconut) until evenly covered.
- Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill and serve:
- Refrigerate the truffles for 20-30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Baileys) to the truffle mixture.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
