Espresso Chocolate Truffel Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place the chopped chocolate into a medium heatproof bowl, set aside.
  • In small heavy-based saucepan, bring the cream and espresso to a boil, carefully stirring until the cream has just boiled.
  • Pour over the bowl of chocolate and let stand for two minutes.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently mix the cream and chocolate continuously until the mixture becomes smooth
  • Allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 to 2 hours. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Place your coatings for the truffles on a plate. Remove the truffle mixture from the refrigerator. With your hands, or else a melon baller or small spoon form the chocolate into round or miss-shaped bite-sized balls. Immediately roll the truffle in the coating and place on a parchment lined baking sheet or tray. Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm. Truffles can be refrigerated for a couple of weeks or else frozen for a couple of months. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Coatings:
  • Dark cocoa powder.
  • Ground hazelnuts, almonds or pecan.
  • Icing sugar.
