White chocolate coffee truffles
Who doesn't love chocolate or coffee? Now imagine them together, isn't that amazing?
Ingredients:
Filling
- 350 g white chocolate finely chopped
- ¼ cup condensed milk (from a can)
- 1 tsp cofee extract
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
Top coat
- 350 g white chocolate finely chopped
Instructions
Filling
- Place the white chocolate and the condensed milk in a heat resistant bowl on bain-marie ( on top of a saucepan with water) over low heat, making sure the bowl with chocolate isn't touching the water.
- When the chocolate is completely melted, add the coffee extract and the instant coffee and stir occasionally, until the filling is evenly mixed. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely, then transfer to the fridge until firm enough to scoop and form balls. (1 hr min)
- Remove the mix from the fridge and use a tablespoon to scoop even amounts of chocolate. Form balls with your hands, making sure your palms are completely dry. Arrange them on a tray or chopping board next to you.
Top coat
- Melt ⅔ of the chocolate on bain marie, then remove from heat and add the other ⅓ and mix together. Now that you tempered your chocolate, you can start topping the pre-made chocolate balls. Dip them in chocolate, then arrange them on a flat surface. Decorate with instant coffee grains or dust with cocoa powder and allow them to cool.
