Method

1. 1

   Begin by chopping the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.

2. 2

   In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering, then pour it over the chopped chocolate.

   Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate, then stir gently until smooth and fully combined.

   Allow the ganache to cool slightly at room temperature before refrigerating for about 30 minutes until it thickens.

   Roll each chocolate ball in cocoa powder to coat, shaking off any excess.
