Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cocoa butter
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare a medium-sized pot, filling it with water about one-third full and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot to create a double boiler. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the cocoa butter to the bowl and allow it to melt completely, stirring occasionally with a spatula.
Once the cocoa butter is melted and smooth, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water, creating a coffee concentrate.
Stir the coffee concentrate, vanilla extract, and salt into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Remove the bowl from heat and carefully pour the mixture into silicone candy molds of your choice, or use a lined baking dish if molds are unavailable.
Gently tap the molds or dish on the counter to release any air bubbles and smooth the top.
Allow the chocolates to set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully solidified. Alternatively, refrigerate for faster setting.
Once set, remove the chocolate coffee candies from molds or slice into pieces if using a baking dish.
Store candies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
