Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams cocoa powder
Instructions
Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Remove the cream from the heat and stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the cream and let it sit for a minute to start melting.
Gently stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and the mixture is homogeneous.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Once the chocolate mixture is set, remove it from the dish using the parchment paper overhang to lift it out.
Using a sharp knife, cut the chocolate into 20 even squares.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each chocolate square in the cocoa powder to coat all sides.
Store the chocolate coffee candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
