Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sifted powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Freeze the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Dip each frozen truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. You can use a fork or a toothpick to help with dipping.
  • Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can drizzle additional melted chocolate on top for decoration if desired.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

These truffles can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also make a lovely homemade gift!
