Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved.
Pour the hot cream and coffee mixture over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture gently until smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls with your hands.
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl or plate.
Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated, tapping off any excess.
Transfer the coated truffles to a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
