Method

1.
Melt the chocolate in cream — Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream until it just begins to steam, then pour it over the chocolate and leave for 2 minutes.
2.
Whisk the ganache smooth — Stir gently from the centre outwards until the ganache is smooth and glossy, then beat in the butter, vanilla, and salt.
3.
Chill until firm — Cover and chill for at least 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
4.
Roll and coat the truffles — Scoop small portions, roll quickly into balls between your palms, then coat in cocoa powder. Keep chilled until serving.
