Ingredients

Truffle Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon malted milk powder

Coating Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup malted milk powder

Instructions

  • Place chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • To form the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. As it begins to simmer, whisk in the malt powder, stirring until evenly combined. Once the cream has come to a boil, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Allow the mixture to sit for 2 - 3 minutes. With a heatproof spatula, stir until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is combined.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then cover the bowl with a towel and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and malt powder for topping.
  • Use a tablespoon to scoop out some ganache and quickly roll into a ball. Body heat will cause the ganache to start melting quickly; kitchen gloves will provide a barrier and make the rolling process easier. Toss in the topping and set aside. Repeat until all of the chocolate has been used.
  • The truffles will soften as they warm, so keep them refrigerated before serving.
