❤️ St. Valentine’s Chocolate Truffles Recipe ❤️

For this St. Valentine’s Day, we opted for these rich and yummy Dark Chocolate Truffles. Made with just a few simple ingredients including 70% cocoa dark chocolate, fresh cream, vanilla essence, and a touch of unsalted butter, these truffles are easy to make and oh-so-satisfying.

We are sharing with you a basic recipe that can be enriched adding chopped nuts, orange zest or a splash of your favorite liqueur. Once chilled and firm, we added a touch of originality rolling them not only into cocoa powder, but also into raspberry, and coconut powder. To surprise your beloved let your imagination run wild!
