Chocolate Balsamic Truffles

Chocolate Balsamic Truffles
Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy, Photo by Jeremiah Shilhavy

Servings: approx. 45 truffles
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Pour the heavy cream into a glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Turn heat off as soon as you place the bowl on top. Stir in the chocolate and coconut oil in with a rubber spatula.

Once the chocolate has melted, remove bowl from the pot and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Refrigerate the chocolate for 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, until firm but moldable.

Place coatings of choice into shallow bowls, starting out with about 1/4 cup. Using a teaspoon scoop out measuring teaspoon sized balls of the chocolate. Use your hands to form into tiny balls. Drop the balls into the coatings of choice and roll until coated.

If the truffles are too soft after forming refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until a littler firmer.

To store, refrigerate overnight and store at room temperature. The truffles will keep for about 1 day at room temp.

This is very interesting. I've never heard of this kind of combination together. Very interesting. :) Is this a recipe you made or is it one you just 'improved'? :)

Looks good! If I make this using bitter chocolate, can I add honey to sweeten it?

Rachel: Nope. Had a base recipe and worked from there.

Michelle: It depends on how bitter of a chocolate you're using. You really shouldn't use anything other then bittersweet or semisweet, unless you like the bitter taste. If you add honey, it may ruin the texture of the ganache and finished candy.

These sound fantastic! I just bought a bottle of dark chocolate balsamic vinegar a couple weeks ago at the winter farmer's market & this reminds me of that vinegar.

Thx for the great idea. Will try with non-dairy cream and see what happens.
