Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Aluminum foil or parchment paper
  • Heatproof Bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Spoon
  • Small paper cups (for serving)

Ingredients
  

  • 8 1 ounce squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate cake crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons dark rum
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Pan: Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Melt Chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the cream and butter, bringing it to a boil over low heat. Pour over the chocolate, stirring until smooth and melted.
    A heatproof bowl sits on the white marble cooktop, filled with chopped bittersweet chocolate. Beside it, a small saucepan gently boils cream and butter, ready to be poured over the chocolate for a smooth, creamy melt.
  • Mix Truffle Base: Add the cake crumbs and rum to the chocolate mixture, stirring until combined. Set aside until the mixture is firm but not too hard.
    The heatproof bowl on the white marble cooktop now contains the melted chocolate mixture. Chocolate cake crumbs and a splash of dark rum are stirred in, creating a thick and rich truffle base with a luxurious texture.
  • Form Truffles: Scoop heaping teaspoons of the chocolate mixture, rolling them into balls, then roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles to coat.
    A small spoon scoops out teaspoons of the chocolate mixture on the white marble cooktop, each portion being rolled into a smooth ball. The truffles are then coated in chocolate sprinkles, giving them a glossy and tempting finish.
  • Chill and Serve: Place the truffles on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm. Serve in small paper cups.
