1. Melt the chocolate and cream together in 20-second blasts in the microwave or in a glass bowl set over a small pan of simmering water. Stir in the vanilla, then pour into a small bowl. Once cool, put in the fridge to chill for 2-3 hours.
2. When firm, use a melon baller or 2 teaspoons to scoop out and form balls, then roll each truffle in either the cocoa powder or the chopped pistachios. Chill the leftover bits to use them up. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

  These truffles are the business. Very very easy but makes you look rather professional! I added two teaspoons of rum instead of the vanilla and threw in a load of raisins. Unbelievably good.

  If making these to give as gifts, how long would they keep for?

  WoW! I made them for my friend's birthday and they were so easy to make and tasted amazing! Before chilling I split into two dishes and added vanilla essence to one dish and rum flavouring to the other. I also used mixed chopped nuts as they are cheaper than pistachios. I covered the vanilla ones with coca powder and the rum ones with nuts- yummy!

  These look scrumptious but how long do they keep for and echoing what the last person said will they keep for any length of time out of the fridge...
