- 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure extract for the best flavor)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to soften, then stir until smooth and fully melted.
- Whisk in the ground hibiscus flowers, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogenous and glossy.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls between your palms. Work quickly to prevent melting.
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated, then place them on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
Creating a velvety texture that melts in the mouth, these truffles boast a bold chocolate flavor with a tart hibiscus twist. Serve them at your next dinner party as a sophisticated finale, or package them in elegant boxes for a heartfelt homemade gift.
