Mocha Truffles
These Mocha Truffles are a heavenly combination of chocolate and coffee, making them a perfect pick-me-up dessert or a sweet gift for loved ones. Let’s dive right into the recipe and bring these delicious morsels to life!
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by placing the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer, then remove it from immediate heat.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute. Then, stir until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is completely melted.
- Add the cooled brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours or until it is firm enough to scoop.
- Once the mixture is firm, use a small scoop or spoon to scoop out portions of the truffle mixture and roll them into balls. This step can be a little messy but is part of the fun!
- Next, roll each truffle in cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts, if using. Make sure each truffle is well-coated for a beautiful finish.
- Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for an additional 30 minutes to set.
- Once set, your Mocha Truffles are ready to be enjoyed or gifted! Serve them at room temperature for the best experience.
These Mocha Truffles are a perfect sweet treat for chocolate lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. Enjoy every bite of this chocolatey, coffee-infused delight!
