Make rich black garlic chocolate truffles with dark chocolate ganache, cocoa-cayenne coating, and a delicious sweet-savory twist.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz dark chocolate, 60-70% cocoa, chips or chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 teaspoons black garlic paste
  • pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

  1. Place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium low heat until just simmering.
  3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for three minutes.
  4. Gently stir the chocolate with a spatula until smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir in the pinch of sea salt and the black garlic paste.
  6. Mix until the sea salt and black garlic paste is fully incorporated into the ganache.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for two hours or so, or until firm enough to scoop.
  8. Using a small scoop to portion the ganache.
  9. Chill the portioned ganache for 15-20 minutes.
  10. While the ganache chills mix together the cocoa powder and cayenne until fully combined and free of clumps.
  11. Spread the mixture in an even layer on a small sheet pan or shallow dish.
  12. Roll the chilled truffles through the cocoa mixture, then tap off any excess.
  13.  Place the coated truffles on a parchment lined sheet pan and refrigerate another 10-15 minutes, just until firm.
  14. If needed, roll the truffles once more in the cocoa mixture as the initial coating of the cocoa powder can absorb into the ganache.

Equipment

Notes

  • The measurement for the chocolate is by weight, not volume.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
  • Store the truffles in a single layer or separate layers with parchment paper.
