These Coffee Truffles are rich, creamy, and infused with deep espresso flavor. A no-bake dessert made with silky chocolate ganache, they’re perfect for coffee lovers, gifting, or an indulgent after-dinner treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
  • Optional coatings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or melted chocolate

Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate finely and place it in a heatproof bowl.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil. Remove from heat and whisk in instant espresso or coffee until dissolved.
  3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy. Add butter and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls with your hands. Dust hands with cocoa if needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Roll truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or dip in melted chocolate for your preferred finish.
  7. Place coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to set. Serve slightly chilled.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate (60–70% cocoa) for the best flavor.
  • Start with less coffee for a subtle taste — the flavor intensifies as the truffles chill.
  • For vegan truffles, use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate.
  • Keep hands cool while rolling to prevent melting.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
