Bittersweet-Chocolate Truffles
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons grappa, plus more for serving
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- Clementines, amaro, bourbon, and/or dark rum (for serving)
- Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring cream, salt, and 2 Tbsp. grappa to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. As soon as bubbles begin to form at edges of pan, remove from heat and pour over chocolate. Let sit 3 minutes to let chocolate melt. Whisk (or blend with an immersion blender if you have one) until emulsified and smooth. Scrape into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Let ganache cool; cover and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Place cocoa in a medium bowl; set out on table with ganache and some spoons so guests can drag spoons across chocolate to make curls and toss in cocoa. Serve with clementines and amaro.
- Ganache can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
