These bite-sized treats are perfect for any occasion, offering a rich and creamy chocolate experience in a compact form.

Ingredients:

1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g

Instructions:

3. Mix Until Smooth: Add the butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Slowly whisk the mixture until the chocolate, cream, butter, and vanilla are fully combined and smooth.
4. Cool the Ganache: Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm enough to hold its shape but still malleable.
6. Refrigerate Again: Once all the ganache balls are formed, place them back in the refrigerator to firm up for about 30 minutes.
8. Coat the Petits Fours: Roll each chilled ganache ball in the dry cocoa powder until completely coated. Shake off any excess cocoa powder.
10. Enjoy: Serve your delectable chocolate petits fours at room temperature or slightly chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

- Ensure that the heavy whipping cream does not boil, as it can scorch easily.

- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the petits fours before refrigerating.

- To achieve a smoother texture, you can optionally strain the chocolate mixture through a fine mesh sieve before refrigerating.

- If you prefer a different coating, you can roll the petits fours in crushed nuts or powdered sugar instead of cocoa powder.
