Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon ghost pepper powder (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Optional: Cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts for rolling

Instructions

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
  3. Gently whisk the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Whisk in the softened butter, ghost pepper powder, and sea salt until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  6. Once firm, scoop the truffle mixture using a small spoon or a melon baller. Roll into balls between your palms.
  7. Optional: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts.
  8. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of ghost pepper powder based on your heat preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more if desired.
  • Ensure your chocolate is finely chopped for smooth melting.
  • For a smoother truffle, you can gently warm the bowl over a double boiler while whisking.
  • Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
