Smoked Chocolate Salted Truffles

02/12/2015 by Katie

Every year for Valentine’s Day I make my husband the same meal. Fillet Oscar with hollandaise, avocado and lime marinated shrimp, wedge salad with homemade blue cheese and chocolate truffles. What can I say, I’m predictable!  This year I’m going to toss it up a bit and make him Smoked Chocolate Salted Truffles, see how spontaneous I am?  Seriously, how delicious does that sound?  A couple months ago I became obsessed with the Smoked Chocolate chips I received as a add-on in my Full circle weekly drop box. I’ve been tinkering with recipes for them ever since, however, these truffles are for sure my favorite.  The sweet subtle smokiness is a perfect combination with the salted cocoa powder, add in a mouth watering creamy dark chocolate ganache and you’ve got a decadent chocolate truffle!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoons Smoked chocolate chips
  • 2 cups or 1 pound dark chocolate finely chopped, set aside in glass bowl.
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • *Salted Cocoa Coating
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink salt, powdered. *see note
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Start out by making a ganache; Heat cream over medium heat until it just boils.
  2. Carefully pour over the chopped chocolate, stir well until all the chocolate has melted. Add in vanilla, stirring until just until combined. Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes.
  3. Remove from the fridge.  Using a melon baller, make small balls of the chocolate. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once all the chocolate is made into balls return back to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove from the refrigerator, using the palms of your hands, roll chocolate into round balls. Lastly, roll the balls into the salted cocoa coating and place on a serving tray.

Feel free to make a combination of topping to roll the chocolate truffles in.  A few of my alternative favorites are shredded unsweetened coconut, palm sugar and  powder sugar.
You can refrigerate these until you’re ready to serve them. They will last for over a week in the refrigerator but good luck trying to keep them that long.
Makes approximately 4 dozen

WELCOME TO THE FARM

Hi, I’m Katie. Our family lives on our fourth generation family farm here in beautiful Idaho. We milk jersey cows, raise pastured heritage pigs and poultry, scottish highlanders for beef and a few sheep for fiber.  Our journey is about healing the body through sustainable agriculture.  After being diagnosed with a autoimmune disease several years ago, I saw a need to change the way we think about diseases in today’s modern world.

Our farm prides ourselves on selling the best meat and dairy possibly.  We do not use ANY gmo’s, corn or soy in our animal feed.  Our critters graze on fresh green pasture and are fed a locally grown, locally milled grain ration.

We are not offering farm direct pickups or tours at this time.

Our dairy and egg products are available at Pilgrims Market in CDA Idaho.  We do not ship raw dairy.

Grassfed Beef, lamb and pastured pork are available by the half or whole.
