Steps:
- Finely chop the chocolate block or use pistoles. The size of the chocolate pieces is key. Make sure the chocolate is in small pieces so that the heat from the boiled cream can melt all of the chocolate.
- Place chopped chocolate in a large non-reactive bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring cream, salt, and vanilla bean to a boil. Once mixture has boiled and foamed up, immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Let chocolate and cream mixture sit for 3 minutes. With a wooden spoon, begin stirring small circles in the middle of the bowl. As the smooth mixture begins to form in the middle, slowly expand the size of the circle until the cream and chocolate is fully incorporated. Remove vanilla bean and stir in butter. Cover mixture and let sit until firm.
- Fill a piping bag or zip top freezer bag with the truffle mixture and pipe into 1 tablespoon size dollops. Allow dollops to set up until they are firm. Roll dollops into round truffles. Truffles can be coated in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, ground nuts, coconut, etc.
- Optional: Add 1-ounce distilled liquor or liqueurs (i.e. brandy, Kirsch, etc.) to butter for additional flavor variations. Distilled liquors or liqueurs add flavor without adding extra sweetness.
BITTERSWEET-CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Chef Jody Williams serves this truffle mixture family-style at holiday parties, with spoons, so guests can scrape off shavings of ganache and toss them through cocoa powder or sandwich between wedges of clementine. It will end up on the table in whatever vessel you chill it in, which could be a pie plate or a decorative platter-it's your house!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the truffles will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
- Use heavy cream, not milk. Heavy cream will give the truffles a richer, creamier texture.
- Don't overmix the chocolate mixture. Overmixing can make the truffles grainy.
- Chill the truffle mixture for at least 2 hours before rolling it into balls. This will help the truffles firm up and make them easier to handle.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles. This will give them a nice coating and help them stay from sticking together.
- Store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Bittersweet chocolate truffles are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious truffles that will impress your friends and family.
