Dark Chocolate Truffles
Place cream, chocolate, and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium power for 2 minutes. Stir and repeat for 30 second intervals (up to 1 minute more) until just a few lumps remain. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Chill until firm enough to scoop, an hour or more.
Place cocoa in a shallow bowl.
Scoop chocolate mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls and roll between palms to form balls. Roll in cocoa powder.
Layer truffles between sheets of parchment paper and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze up to 3 months. Best served at room temperature.
