100 grams dark chocolate, chopped
Preparation Process:
1. Infusing the Magic: Begin by infusing the psilocybin mushroom powder into the heavy cream. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over low heat, stirring constantly. Add the mushroom powder and continue to stir until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and let it steep for 30 minutes.
2. Creating the Ganache: While the cream is infusing, melt the dark chocolate and butter in a double boiler over low heat. Once melted, slowly pour in the infused cream, whisking constantly until a smooth and glossy ganache forms. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Molding the Truffles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop small dollops of the ganache onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
4. Coating the Truffles: Once chilled, roll the truffles in cocoa powder. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
