Step 1: Melt the Chocolate. Add the heavy cream, chocolate chips, sugar, vanilla, and salt to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Step 2: Scoop and Freeze. Scoop the chocolate mixture into 2-tablespoon portions and place them on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
Step 3: Shape the Truffles. Roll each chilled portion between your hands to form a smooth ball. If they're too firm to roll, let them sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes.
Step 4: Coat and Store. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, cinnamon, or finely crushed peppermint until evenly coated. Wrap individually or transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
