Ingredients

Scale

Maple Syrup

  • 1/2 cup

Heavy Cream

  • 1/2 cup

Dark Chocolate

  • 8 oz, chopped

Pecans

  • 1 cup, chopped

Vanilla Extract

  • 1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Start by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove it from the heat and pour it over the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to melt.
  2. Mix in Flavorings: Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
  4. Form the Truffles: Once the mixture is chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form truffle-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Roll in Coating: If desired, roll each truffle in your choice of coating, such as crushed pecans, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut, for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Make sure the ganache is firm enough to handle; this makes shaping easier.
  • Gloves Help: Wearing kitchen gloves can help keep your hands clean while rolling the truffles.
  • Experiment: Don’t hesitate to play around with different flavors and coatings!
  • Keep Cool: Store them in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and flavor.
