There’s an undeniable air of sophistication and refinement that goes hand-in-hand with the art of French cooking. Julia Child, a master of this culinary tradition, may never have predicted the incorporation of CBD into her dishes. However, today we take the challenge to merge the exquisite French flavor profiles of Child’s time with the soothing properties of CBD. Introducing the CBD Infused Chocolate Truffles à la Julia Child, a blend of haute cuisine and modern wellness.
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Chilling Time: 2 hours
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yield: About 24 truffles
Ingredients
200 grams of high-quality dark chocolate (70-80% cacao)
2/3 cup of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, room temperature
100 milligrams of CBD oil (ensure the use of a lab-tested product to ensure proper dosage and quality)
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup of cocoa powder, for dusting
1/4 cup of powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Chop your dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat-resistant bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer and do not allow to boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit for a minute or two.
- Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until it is smooth. Add in the butter, CBD oil, and vanilla extract and continue to stir.
- Once all ingredients are fully incorporated, cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once the mixture is firm, prepare a plate with a mixture of cocoa powder and powdered sugar for dusting.
- Using a melon baller or a small ice cream scoop, scoop out small balls of the chocolate mixture. Roll them quickly between your hands to shape them into balls, then roll them in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture.
- Place the truffles on a baking sheet and refrigerate again until nice and firm.
- Once firm, they are ready to serve.
