Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 6 ounces (170 grams) dark or milk chocolate, melted
Creamy and Flavor Ingredients:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Coating and Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for a smoother coating)
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
- Craft a luxurious chocolate ganache by combining hot cream with premium chocolate, creating a silky base for the truffles. Gently fold in rich caramel sauce, allowing the mixture to develop a deep, velvety texture with hints of vanilla and sea salt.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture into the refrigerator, giving it ample time to solidify and become manageable. Once chilled, delicately form the ganache into perfect spherical shapes, ensuring uniform size and smooth surfaces.
- Prepare a decadent chocolate coating by melting high-quality chocolate with a touch of coconut oil, creating a glossy and fluid dipping medium. Carefully submerge each truffle, ensuring complete and even coverage while allowing excess chocolate to drip away.
- Immediately garnish the freshly coated truffles with a delicate sprinkle of flaky sea salt, which will enhance the caramel’s sweetness and provide a subtle crunch. Place the truffles on a chilled parchment-lined tray to set and stabilize their luxurious chocolate shell.
- Allow the truffles to rest in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating becomes completely firm and glossy. Serve at a cool room temperature to experience the optimal balance of smooth ganache and crisp chocolate exterior, revealing layers of complex flavor with each bite.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate is high-quality for rich, smooth ganache that melts perfectly and provides luxurious texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help chocolate blend seamlessly without seizing or developing unwanted texture.
- For gluten-free version, verify all chocolate and caramel sauce are certified gluten-free to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Create dairy-free alternative by substituting heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and using dairy-free chocolate compounds.
