Coffee Truffles, Coffee Chocolate Truffles by Tarla Dalal

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Coconut cream is dairy-free and adds a tropical flavor.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Stevia reduces sugar while maintaining sweetness.

espresso

🥗Healthier: strong brewed coffee

💰Cheaper: instant coffee

Instant coffee is more accessible and still provides flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds richness.

Heat the fresh cream in a broad non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a slow flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring continuously.

Switch off the flame, add the milk chocolate and coffee powder and mix very well to get a smooth coffee-chocolate sauce.

Transfer into a deep bowl, cool slightly and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each portion into a round.

Put the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute.

Remove and mix gently.

Put one coffee-chocolate ball in the chocolate sauce and with the help of a fork cover the entire chocolate ball and place it on a flat plate.

Refrigerate the coffee truffles for at least 30 minutes.
