- 1/2 cup dried cherries, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
What to Do
-
In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate and heavy cream over medium heat until smooth, stirring constantly. Stir in cherries, vinegar, and salt; mix well.
-
Pour chocolate mixture into an 8” x 8” baking pan and refrigerate about 2 hours, or until set.
-
Place cocoa powder in a bowl. Using a melon baller or sturdy measuring spoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of chocolate mixture. Roll into a smooth ball between your palms; chocolate will be messy. Place in cocoa powder and roll ball until evenly coated; repeat until all chocolate mixture is used. Refrigerate truffles until ready to serve.
