Ingredients
Scale
Buttercream Mixture
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
Chocolate Coating
- 16 ounces Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers, melted
- Sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Buttercream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth. Add the milk and continue to beat for an additional 2–3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about an hour or until firm enough to handle.
- Shape Truffle Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop balls of the chilled buttercream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze these balls for approximately 30 minutes until firm.
- Smooth Truffles: Remove the frozen buttercream balls from the freezer and gently use your fingertips to smooth out the surface, shaping them into neat spheres.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the Ghirardelli dark chocolate wafers according to the package instructions, ensuring a smooth consistency for dipping.
- Dip and Garnish: Using a toothpick, carefully dip each buttercream ball into the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess chocolate on the side of the bowl. Place the coated truffles back onto parchment paper and immediately decorate with sprinkles. Repeat for all truffles.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully softened for easier mixing.
- Freezing the buttercream balls makes them easier to coat without melting.
- Use a toothpick for precise dipping and easy handling.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
