Time 3h30m

Yield 80 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups single cream
1/2 cup hot espresso coffee
29 ounces dark chocolate (recommended: cacao content of 70 percent or more)
Cocoa Powder, for coating

Steps:

  • In a saucepan slowly bring the cream to the boil. Turn off the heat and add the coffee and chocolate. Stir with a whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and the chocolate has melted. The liquid should have become slightly lighter and shinier at this stage. Pour into a jug and leave to cool for about 2 hours or until it has come down to room temperature. See Cook's note*.
  • Beat the mixture with an electric whisk for about 1 minute or until it changes color.
  • Line a square plastic container with baking paper and pour the chocolate mixture into it. Leave to set in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can test this by pressing the top with your fingers. Run a spatula around the edges and lift the chocolate on the baking paper out of the dish and swiftly cut it lengthways into even strips of about 2/3-inch. Then cut these into cubes. Put cocoa powder into a flat dish and roll the cubes in it, making sure that they are well coated. The truffles can be kept for about 2 weeks.

These truffles are the perfect treat for a coffee lover. They're rich, decadent, and have just the right amount of sweetness.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but these truffles were surprisingly good. The coffee flavor is very subtle and it pairs well with the chocolate.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I was a little disappointed with these truffles. They were a bit too dry and the coffee flavor was not very strong.
