Why Gluten-Free Truffles?
Whether you have celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or simply prefer to avoid gluten, these truffles offer a delicious and safe alternative to traditional chocolate treats. We’ve carefully crafted this recipe using naturally gluten-free ingredients, so you can enjoy every bite without worry.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao), chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gluten-free cocoa powder, for coating
Instructions:
- Melt the chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate.
- Combine ingredients: Gently stir the chocolate and cream until completely smooth and melted. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a glossy ganache.
- Chill the ganache: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ganache to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm enough to roll.
- Shape the truffles: Once the ganache is firm, use a spoon or small cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the ganache. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth ball.
- Coat the truffles: Place the gluten-free cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until completely coated.
- Chill and serve: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up further. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- For a richer flavor, use a higher percentage of cacao dark chocolate.
- Experiment with different coatings, such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or gluten-free sprinkles.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to the ganache for a salty-sweet flavor.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy these decadent gluten-free chocolate truffles! They’re the perfect treat for any occasion.
