Ingredients
  

For the Truffle Filling
  • 90 ml thickened or whipping cream (minimum 35% fat) Use high-quality brands like DairyPure or Organic Valley.
  • 200 g dark cooking chocolate (40% cocoa solids, finely chopped) Choose good quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli or Callebaut.
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules A favorite brand like Nescafé will enhance coffee flavor.
For the Coating
  • 125 g milk cooking chocolate Wilton Melts are recommended for a quick melting process.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a small, flat dish with non-stick baking paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the cream over low heat until just below boiling.
  3. Turn off the heat, add the finely chopped chocolate and instant coffee granules, and stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the mixture into the lined dish and refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm.
  5. Once firm, scoop about 3 teaspoons of the mixture and roll it into small balls. Place each ball on a lined baking tray and chill for another 30 minutes.
  6. Melt the milk chocolate over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth, and let it cool for about 15 minutes before dipping.
  7. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate to coat, then place them on a tray to set.
  8. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until the coating is firm.

Notes

Keep your truffles refrigerated to maintain their shape and freshness. They last for up to a week.
