- 280 gram Dark chocolate
- 280 ml Cream
- 50 gram Butter
- 150 gram Cherries
- 140 gram Cognac

- Pour the ganache into a glass mold. Close the lid and refrigerate overnight to stabilize.
- Ganache after stabilization in the refrigerator.
- Sprinkle the candy mold with cocoa powder. Take the alkalized one. This is a special cocoa powder treated with alkali. Have you noticed the sediment in the pot after making cocoa? At the same time, it will not alkalize - processing makes it completely soluble. From the point of view of appearance, it is more beautiful - its shade is rich brown. In terms of flavor and aftertaste, it is more intense.
- Scoop a teaspoon of ganache.
- Put one or two cherries in the center.
- Roll the ball. Roll in a bowl in cocoa powder.
- Place the truffles on a tray.
- Close the finished candies with a lid, put them in the freezer for 1 hour to stabilize.
