These Cherry Chocolate Truffles are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate lovers who crave a fruity twist. Made with rich dark chocolate, heavy cream, and oil soluble cherry flavoring extract, these bite-sized delights deliver a smooth, velvety texture with a burst of cherry essence in every bite. The process is simple — heat the cream, blend it with chocolate, infuse the cherry flavor, chill, then roll into decadent truffles coated with cocoa powder or chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate, finely chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ tsp Oil Soluble Cherry Flavoring Extract (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp sea salt (optional)
- Cocoa powder, for rolling
- Melted chocolate or crushed nuts (optional coating)
Directions
Heat the cream – In a small saucepan, gently warm the heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Combine with chocolate – Pour the hot cream over the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes to soften, then stir until smooth and fully melted.
Add flavor and butter – Mix in the unsalted butter and oil soluble cherry flavoring extract. Stir until glossy and evenly combined. The cherry extract adds a fruity aroma that complements the richness of the chocolate.
Chill the ganache – Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Form truffles – Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop the ganache and roll into 1-inch balls.
Coat and serve – Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, melted chocolate, or crushed nuts. Chill again briefly for best texture.
