Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons Splenda granular sweetener
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Stir in the instant coffee powder and Splenda until fully dissolved.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently stir the mixture with a rubber spatula or whisk until smooth and glossy. This is your ganache.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to shape.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the ganache and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Work quickly, as the ganache will soften from the warmth of your hands.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
