Recipe

Step 1: In a medium pot, bring cream to a boil over low-medium heat. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips then whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk in vanilla. Pour mixture into medium bowl. Cover and chill until firm, about 4 hours.

Step 2: Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the chocolate mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

Step 3: Place cocoa in a small bowl. Roll truffles between hands into balls. Roll truffles in cocoa then place on serving tray and cover with plastic. Chill truffles until ready to serve.

Flavour variations: Substitute rolling cocoa for finely chopped unsalted pistachio nuts or toasted sweetened coconut.
