Directions:
Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate.
Add the butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate and cream mixture. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
Once chilled, use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop the mixture and roll it into balls. If desired, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut to coat.
Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
