Ingredients
Ingredients:
8 ounces (225 grams) dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons moringa powder
Coating options: cocoa powder, powdered sugar, crushed nuts, or more moringa powder (for rolling the truffles)
Preparation
Instructions:
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to allow the heat to melt the chocolate.
Stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and shiny.
Add the moringa powder to the ganache and stir until well combined.
Cover the ganache with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the ganache. This prevents a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
Once the ganache is chilled and firm, prepare the coatings by placing them in separate shallow bowls.
Using a spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the ganache and roll them into balls between your palms.
Roll each truffle in the desired coating, gently pressing the coating into the truffle to ensure it sticks.
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat the process until all the ganache is used.
Once all the truffles are formed and coated, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to set.
After setting, the Moringa Chocolate Truffles are ready to be enjoyed! You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
