Break the dark chocolate into smaller pieces and melt it in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Make sure the chocolate is completely smooth and free of lumps.
Add the heavy cream and butter to the melted chocolate, then mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until it has solidified enough to be shaped. Tip: Don't let it harden too much, or it will be difficult to work with.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, take portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls. Wearing gloves will help prevent the heat of your hands from melting the chocolate too much.
Roll the finished truffles in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or shredded coconut, depending on your preferred coating. Varying the decorations can make the result more visually appealing.
Place the finished truffles on a tray and put them back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to fully solidify. After this, they are ready to enjoy.
