Coffee Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These coffee truffles are a delightful treat combining creamy texture with rich coffee flavor. Perfect for a quick indulgence or a thoughtful homemade gift, they are simple to make and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter
• 2 tbsp butter, or additional coconut butter
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
• 1/2 tsp instant coffee
• 3 oz chocolate chips or broken chocolate (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring the cream cheese or coconut butter and the butter (or additional coconut butter) to room temperature until soft.
2. Step 2: Combine the softened fats with powdered sugar (or erythritol) and instant coffee, mixing until smooth. Using a hand mixer will give the best texture, but stirring with a fork also works.
3. Step 3: Spread the mixture into a container or chill in the freezer for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop.
4. Step 4: Use a mini cookie scoop to form balls and place them onto a parchment-lined plate. Freeze until firm.
5. Step 5: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and dip the frozen truffles in the melted chocolate. For a smoother coating, stir in half a teaspoon of oil into the melted chocolate before dipping (optional).
6. Step 6: Let the chocolate set, then optionally cut the truffles in half for bite-sized pieces.
7. Step 7: Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers to keep them fresh.

Tips & Variations

• Use coconut butter instead of cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
• Adjust the sweetness by varying the powdered sugar or erythritol to your taste.
• Mix in a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
• Adding a little oil to melted chocolate helps create a smoother coating.

Storage

Store coffee truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage. When ready to enjoy, allow frozen truffles to thaw slightly at room temperature for the best texture.
