Ingredients

  • 225 g (8 oz) white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 225 g (8 oz) bittersweet chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
  • 60 g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C). Place chopped white chocolate in a stainless steel bowl and roast for 3 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until deep golden and caramelized.
  2. In a saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Remove from heat, add ground coffee and salt, and steep for 2 minutes.
  3. Strain cream into the bowl with roasted white chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Transfer ganache to a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop heaping teaspoons of ganache onto the sheet. Roll into balls with moistened hands. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Melt bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir until slightly thickened and glossy.
  6. Place cocoa powder in a small bowl. Using a fork, dip each truffle into melted chocolate, then roll in cocoa powder. Return to baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes until set.

Notes

  • Use espresso for stronger coffee flavor.
  • For a simpler version, skip the chocolate coating and roll in cocoa powder only.
  • Add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon for a spiced twist.
  • Stir roasted white chocolate frequently to avoid graininess.
  • Serve truffles at room temperature for best texture.
