Ingredients
- For the Truffles:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for rolling
- For the Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries:
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 6 oz dark or milk chocolate, melted
- White chocolate for drizzling (optional)
- For the Chocolate Bark:
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds or pistachios
- Sea salt flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
For the truffles, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and add vanilla extract. Chill the mixture for 1 hour until firm, then scoop and roll into balls. Roll the rich truffles in cocoa powder for a perfect finish.
Step 2
For the chocolate-dipped strawberries, wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Dip each strawberry into melted dark or milk chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray and drizzle with melted white chocolate for a beautiful presentation. Let set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Step 3
To make the chocolate bark, spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and a touch of sea salt. Chill for 15 minutes or until fully set, then break into pieces. This simple treat adds a nice contrast to the other desserts.
Step 4
Arrange the Decadent Chocolate Treats on a platter for serving. Pair them with coffee or dessert wine for a complete experience. These indulgent bites are best enjoyed slightly chilled for a rich, satisfying texture.
