Scale
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup high-quality white chocolate, chopped

- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped semisweet chocolate and heavy cream over a pot of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about two hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll into uniform balls, about one inch in diameter.
- Melt the white chocolate using the double-boiler method and let it cool slightly.
- Dip each truffle into the white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
