  1. Boil the heavy cream in a saucepan. Pour one-third of the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and mix until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the remaining cream, stirring until you achieve a glossy emulsion.
  3. Stir in the softened butter, bourbon, and a pinch of sea salt until fully blended.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for about 2 to 3 hours, until firm.
  5. Allow the ganache to come to room temperature. Use a small scoop to form small balls.
  6. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder and place back in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.
