Ingredients

Scale

7 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
7 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1/3 cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

Finely chop dark chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, gently heat heavy cream with orange zest until small bubbles form around the edges.
Remove from heat and pour cream over chocolate.
Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Refrigerate ganache for 2 hours or until firm but scoopable.
Scoop small portions and roll quickly into balls.
Roll truffles in chocolate sprinkles to coat evenly.
Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid boiling the cream to prevent grainy ganache. Chill ganache until firm but pliable before rolling. Store truffles refrigerated for best texture.
