Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250g) smooth peanut butter
- 8 ounces (225g) dark chocolate
- 6 tablespoons (90g) butter, softened
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 3/4 cups (220g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating and Binding:
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Craft a luxurious blend of peanut butter, vanilla extract, and softened butter in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until the texture becomes velvety and homogeneous.
- Incrementally incorporate powdered sugar, blending thoroughly until the mixture achieves a consistent, smooth composition.
- Transfer the peanut butter concoction to the refrigerator for 30 minutes, allowing it to solidify and become more manageable.
- Extract the chilled mixture and meticulously shape into petite, uniform spheres, positioning them delicately on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Return the arranged truffles to the refrigerator for one hour to enhance their structural integrity.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by fragmenting dark chocolate and combining with coconut oil in a heat-resistant vessel positioned above gently simmering water.
- Stir the chocolate mixture until completely liquefied, then permit it to cool for approximately 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
- Carefully immerse each peanut butter sphere into the molten chocolate, ensuring an even, elegant coating and allowing excess to drip away.
- Reposition the chocolate-enrobed truffles onto the parchment tray and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour until the chocolate solidifies completely.
- Serve chilled and savor these decadent, homemade confections.
Notes
- Chill thoroughly to ensure the peanut butter mixture is firm and easy to roll into perfect balls without sticking to your hands.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture, preventing lumpy or grainy truffles.
- For gluten-free option, confirm powdered sugar is certified gluten-free, as some brands may contain trace amounts of wheat.
- Try different chocolate coatings like milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even add crushed nuts for extra crunch and flavor variation.
