Mocha Truffles

Making truffles is easier than you think! These rich mocha truffles are coated with chocolate and will melt in your mouth.

Why we love this recipe

Truffles make great edible gifts. Think Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, and anniversaries. Pop them into cupcake liners and put them in a goodie box or bag for a sweet gift.

We love the variation this recipe allows. You can roll them in nuts, or add a dusting of cocoa powder, sea salt, or sprinkles over the top of them while the chocolate is still setting. You can also make boozy truffles by substituting the espresso for Kahlua!

1. Warm the heavy cream in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until it reaches about 115F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the warm cream, chocolate, espresso, butter, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until fully combined.
3. Place the chocolate mixture in the fridge to chill for 4 hours, or until it has fully set.
4. Once the chocolate has set, use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Smooth the truffles by rolling them around in your palms.
5. Place the truffles in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, add the chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl. Microwave it on 30 seconds intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted.
7. Dip each truffle one at a time into the melted chocolate and then place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
8. While the chocolate is still wet, add any sprinkles or decoration, if desired. We topped ours with a light sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of chocolate
9. Allow the chocolate to set fully before enjoying.
