Coffee truffle

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 14 oz. Dark Chocolate
• 8 oz. Additional Dark Chocolate
• 11/2 cups Coffee Powder
• 3 tbsp. Butter (optional)

Method:

Batter (Ganache):

1. Break 14 oz chocolate into small pieces and put in a large bowl.
2. Bring cream slowly to a light boil.
3. Pour boiling cream over chocolate and keep stirring until all the chocolate has melted and the batter is homogenous.
4. If you want to add butter, do so now, before the batter cools, and thickens. (This gives you the Ganache. Store in the refrigerator for a few hours to thicken it. The Ganache should be thick enough to easily form truffle balls.)

Forming Truffles:

1. Using two spoons (or a baking sac) form even and round balls. Place them on parchment or wax paper.
2. Melt the rest of the chocolate in a double-boiler.
3. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate and then roll it in the coffee powder.
