Ingredients

• 225 grams Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Instant espresso powder
• 30 grams Unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 50 grams White chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a medium 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 let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the cream from the heat and stir in the instant espresso powder until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.

Step 5

Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until smooth and glossy. Then, add the butter and vanilla extract, and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop portions of the ganache and roll them into balls using your hands. Work quickly to prevent the ganache from melting.

Step 8

Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 9

If desired, melt the white chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the truffles for a decorative finish.

Step 10

Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
