Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
  • 6 oz dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa)
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Brew Coffee: Brew 1/2 cup of strong coffee or espresso and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the mascarpone in the next steps.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place 6 oz of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in short bursts, stirring until it becomes smooth and fully melted.
  3. Prepare Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 8 oz mascarpone cheese, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and the cooled coffee. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Form Truffles: Using your hands or a spoon, form small balls from the mascarpone mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill: Place the truffle balls in the refrigerator for about one hour to firm up and make them easier to coat.
  6. Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted dark chocolate to coat it completely. Then roll each truffle in the unsweetened cocoa powder for a finishing touch. Allow the chocolate coating to set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the coffee is fully cooled to prevent the mascarpone from curdling.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and smooth coating.
  • Keep the truffles refrigerated until serving to maintain their shape and freshness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the mascarpone mixture.
