  • 250 g dark or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or neutral vegetable oil (optional, for a smoother coating)

3. Decoration

  • Flaky sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
  • A little extra melted chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat-treat the flour

This is important because the filling is not baked.

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. Spread the flour evenly on a baking tray.
  3. Bake for approximately 5–7 minutes, making sure the flour reaches 74°C (165°F) throughout.
  4. Allow it to cool completely.
  5. Sift to remove any lumps.

Step 2: Make the cookie dough

  4. Mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the cooled heat-treated flour and salt.
  6. Mix gently until a soft dough forms.

Texture tip: Your dough should be soft, smooth and scoopable, but not sticky. If it’s too soft, add a little more flour.

You should get:

  • A smooth, firm dark chocolate outer shell.
  • A soft, buttery cookie dough centre.
  • Little chocolate chips throughout.
  • A delicate salty finish that balances the sweetness.

Storage instructions

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe container.
  • Serving: Let refrigerated truffles sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.

My tips for bakery-quality truffles

  1. Use good-quality chocolate: 50–60% dark chocolate gives a lovely balance.
  2. Keep the dough cold: Cold balls are much easier to dip.
  3. Don’t overdo the salt: A few flakes on top are enough.
  4. Make them uniform: Use a small cookie scoop for evenly sized truffles.
  5. For a beautiful finish: Let excess chocolate drip off before placing each truffle on parchment.

Best finishing touch

Use flaky pink sea salt on top, just like in your reference photo. It gives the truffles a beautiful bakery-style appearance and a delicious sweet-and-salty flavour.
