Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 100 grams Whole coffee beans
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
Begin by placing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the freezer to chill while you prepare the chocolate and coffee beans.
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate along with the teaspoon of butter. Stir intermittently until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Once melted, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes. This helps in thickening the chocolate slightly for better coating on the coffee beans.
Add the whole coffee beans into the melted chocolate. Stir well until all the beans are thoroughly coated with chocolate.
Using a fork or a small slotted spoon, lift the coated coffee beans out of the chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place each bean separately on the chilled baking sheet.
Once all the beans are placed on the sheet, set them aside to cool and harden. This should take about 15-20 minutes if left at room temperature, or 5-10 minutes if placed in the refrigerator.
After the chocolate has set, place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a fine mesh sieve and gently dust over the chocolate covered coffee beans for an extra rich finish.
Store the chocolate covered coffee beans in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
