Why this recipe works: Chocolate truffles are often reserved for special occasions because they can be laborious (and often messy) to make. With our goal of streamlining the truffle-making process in mind, we turned to the microwave to help us make our truffle base (a ganache). After melting chopped chocolate, cream, and a pinch of salt together in the microwave, we let the ganache cool for a mere 45 minutes. The truffles were then rolled and cooled for an additional 30 minutes. After quickly dusting them in a mixture of cocoa powder and confectioners’ sugar, we were sure that these chocolate truffles were holiday ready (but you can enjoy them year-round, too).
