# Liste des ingrédients:

→ Ganache Elements

01 - 120 ml heavy cream
02 - 8 oz finely chopped dark chocolate
03 - 1 tsp vanilla flavoring
04 - 1 tbsp instant coffee powder
05 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter

→ Caramel Layer

06 - 60 ml heavy cream
07 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
08 - 100 g white sugar
09 - ½ tsp sea salt crystals

→ Outer Coating

10 - 30 g chopped nuts (optional)
11 - 120 g dark chocolate, melted
12 - 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - In a saucepan on medium heat, stir the sugar until it turns golden and smooth.
02 - Mix in the butter and cream carefully (it’ll sizzle a lot!). Stir till combined.
03 - Toss in the salt and stir well. Take the pot off the heat after mixing.
04 - Drop the hot caramel over the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Let it sit for a minute.
05 - Whip the chocolate mixture until it’s smooth. Add vanilla and espresso powder next.
06 - Pop the ganache into the fridge. Leave it there for at least one hour until firm.
07 - Scoop out small portions of the chilled ganache and roll them into little spheres.
08 - Cover each ball with your chosen coating—nuts, cocoa, or melted chocolate.
09 - Let the coated truffles rest in the fridge for another 30 minutes to firm up.
10 - Eat them straight away or keep them in an airtight container to enjoy later.

# Informations complémentaires:

01 - For better flavor, let truffles warm up for about 5 minutes before eating.
02 - Pick good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) for rich taste.
03 - Shape quickly since the warmth of your hands can melt the ganache.
