Chocolate Truffles

1

Place finely chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.

2

Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer, then pour over the chocolate.

3

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes without stirring. Then, add butter and vanilla extract if using, and stir until smooth.

4

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until firm.
