Duo of Dark Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (e.g. almonds, hazelnuts, pecans)

Steps:

1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
2. Place the chocolate mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes until firm.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
4. Take the chocolate mixture out of the fridge and use a spoon or small scooper to form balls. Roll half of the balls in the cocoa powder mixture until coated.
5. For the other half of the balls, roll them in unsweetened shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts.
6. Place the truffles on a sheet of parchment paper and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
