  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: About 24 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 120ml heavy cream
  • 60g semi-salted butter
  • 100g brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

Optional Garnish Ingredients

  • Cocoa powder
  • Chopped nuts (pecans, hazelnuts, or others)
  • Extra melted chocolate for coating
  • Crushed toffee
  • Cookie crumbs
  • Shredded coconut
  • Cinnamon or chili powder (for spice variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caramel Base: Melt the semi-salted butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Carefully pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently until thickened to a luscious caramel sauce.
  2. Mix in the Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chopped chocolate pieces until completely melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well to create a rich fudge base.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into a lined dish, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight until firm enough to scoop and shape.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a small scoop or spoon, form bite-sized balls from the chilled fudge and place them on parchment paper. Keep refrigerated to maintain firmness while working.
  5. Add the Finishing Touch: Sprinkle each truffle with sea salt flakes. Optionally, roll them in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or dip them in melted chocolate for extra texture and flavor. Chill again briefly if coated.

Notes

  • Use premium quality chocolate for smoother, richer truffles.
  • Ensure the fudge mixture is well chilled to make shaping easier.
  • Flaky sea salt is essential for the perfect salty crunch contrast.
  • A cookie scoop helps achieve uniform truffle sizes for elegant presentation.
  • Allow truffles to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
