Indulge in these rich and creamy chocolate almond truffles, perfect for any occasion.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler until smooth.
Stir the chocolate constantly to prevent it from burning.
Add the butter to the melted chocolate and stir until fully incorporated.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Mix in the powdered sugar and toasted almonds until evenly distributed.
Chop the almonds finely for a smoother texture.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until firm enough to handle.
Cover the bowl to prevent the mixture from absorbing fridge odors.
Roll the mixture into small balls using your hands.
Lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking.
Coat each truffle in cocoa powder by rolling them on a plate.
Use a sieve to evenly distribute the cocoa powder.
Place the truffles in a container and chill until ready to serve.
Store the truffles in a single layer to maintain their shape.
