Step 1

In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring heavy whipping cream to a simmer on low heat. Keep scraping the sides of the pan every few minutes with a spatula.

In a deep bowl, place the chocolate pieces and pour this heated cream over it. Let it stand for 5 mins and then give it a stir.

After it cools down a little, place the mixture in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 6

Grease your hands a little with butter, and quickly make round balls of the mixture and keep placing them on a parchment paper.

Step 7

Place the formed balls again in the refrigerator. Keep it overnight.

Step 8

When you want to serve the truffles, remove a few and toss them in either drinking chocolate or powdered sugar as desired.

You can also mix in some colourful sprinkles to take things a notch higher.

Step 10

Serve immediately and keep the remaining in the refrigerator.
