Ingredients

• 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Pour the hot cream and coffee mixture over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.

Step 5

Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture gently until smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 8

Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls with your hands.

Step 9

Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl or plate.

Step 10

Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until evenly coated, tapping off any excess.

Step 11

Transfer the coated truffles to a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set.

Step 12

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
