Equipment

1 double boiler
1 bowl for warming cream

Ingredients

Main ingredients

1 cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup cocoa powder for coating
¼ cup crushed nuts for coating

Instructions

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Take your time here, don't rush it or you might scorch them. It's the start of smoothness.
Warm the heavy cream in a separate bowl until it's just boiling. Be careful to not let it bubble over, then pour this hot cream over the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and stir gently until well blended.
Chill the mixture in the fridge for 30-40 minutes until firm.
Scoop and shape small amounts into bunny forms using a scoop. This is fun but messy.
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder or crushed nuts. Chill again for a few minutes to firm up.

Notes

Use a scoop lined with warm water for easier shaping. Freeze truffles for faster firming but don't let them get rock hard!
