truffles

I really love chocolate. I'm not a huge fan of other kinds of sugary sweet treats...but chocolate I always have room for. I like cream and coffee too. And when it's all combined in a little sphere, it's like biting into a bit of heaven.






truffles

ingredients

-8 ounces (one cup) good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
-1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
-1 to 2 teaspoons ground coffee
-2 tablespoons nutella
-cocoa powder

to make

In a small, heavy sauce pan, bring cream to a simmer. Place chocolate, nutella, and coffee in a separate bowl and pour cream in. Let sit a few minutes, then combine. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least two hours. Using a teaspoon, quickly roll the chocolate into spheres and place onto tray. Be sure not to handle the mixture too much, as it will melt from the heat of your hands. Refrigerate overnight, then roll truffles into cocoa powder. Serve!

note: things can get kind of messy while making truffles. so no, they might not always be the prettiest, but they most definitely make it up in taste!


much love,
carlotta

    Oh help. I am now faced with a decision 'to bake or not to bake.' These looks truly scrumptious... they look irresistible.

    Off I go.

    messiness in the prep automatically makes the end result worth it. esp if there is chocolate invovled!
