Ingredients

• 200 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 20 g Unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp Amarula liqueur
• 1 tsp Instant coffee granules
• 3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the instant coffee granules until dissolved, and pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate.

Step 4

Let the chocolate sit undisturbed for 2 minutes, then gently stir until fully melted and smooth.

Step 5

Add the Amarula liqueur and stir until well combined. The mixture should have a silky consistency.

Step 6

Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 7

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the truffle mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. If the mixture is sticky, lightly dust your hands with cocoa powder.

Step 8

Place the truffle balls on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

Step 9

Spread the cocoa powder (and powdered sugar, if using) on a plate. Roll the truffles in the powder to coat evenly.

Step 10

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
