Description
Simple recipe for making coffee and mascarpone flavored chocolate truffles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, for rolling
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
- Add the mascarpone cheese, espresso powder, cooled coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- Scoop the chilled mixture using a small spoon or a melon baller. Roll the scoops into small balls.
- Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for another 30 minutes.
- Dip each truffle into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Immediately roll the coated truffles in the cocoa powder until fully covered.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use good quality espresso powder for the best coffee flavor.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill it longer.
- You can substitute dark chocolate for semi-sweet chocolate.
