Instruction
- Place the chopped chocolate and heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each cooking interval. It will take about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes to completely melt the chocolate. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Add in room-temperature butter and flavored extract. Stir until butter is completely melted and the chocolate is smooth.
- Cover with plastic wrap or foil and place in the refrigerator to chill for 3-4 hours.
- Once the chocolate ganache has solidified, use a cookie scoop or two small spoons to scoop out balls. These balls can be 2 teaspoons to 1 Tablespoon depending on preference. Roll and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Read rolling tips below for tips and tricks.
