Ingredients
- 10 oz dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons sugar free candied ginger
- 2 teaspoons rum optional
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Chop the chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the rum (if using) and the finely chopped sugar-free candied ginger.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, scoop portions of the ganache and roll them into balls between your palms. (Tip: wear food-safe gloves to minimize melting and mess.)
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated. Shake off any excess powder.
- For firmer truffles, place them back in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before enjoying for the best flavor and texture.
