Ingredients
  • 7 1/2 ounce White chocolate, chopped
  • 8 ounce Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 5 Tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
  1. 1
    Place the chopped white chocolate into one stainless steel bowl and the chopped semi-sweet chocolate into a separate stainless steel bowl.
  2. 2
    Heat the heavy cream in a 1.5-quart saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
  3. 3
    Pour 1/4 cup of the boiling cream over the white chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup over the dark chocolate.
  4. 4
    Let both bowls stand undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
  5. 5
    Using a separate whisk for each, stir the chocolate and cream mixtures until completely smooth and glossy.
  6. 6
    Allow the ganaches to cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
  7. 7
    Refrigerate both ganaches for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even cooling and thickening.
  8. 8
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. 9
    Using a teaspoon, portion out 36 heaping mounds of the dark chocolate ganache onto the parchment paper.
  10. 10
    Top each mound of dark chocolate with a level teaspoon of the white chocolate ganache.
  11. 11
    Roll each portion gently in your palms using a circular motion to form smooth, round truffles.
  12. 12
    Sift the cocoa powder into a shallow dish and roll each truffle until completely coated.
  13. 13
    If the chocolate becomes too warm to handle, refrigerate the truffles for 10 minutes before finishing.
  14. 14
    Store in the refrigerator for up to several days, but bring to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
