Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 66 servings

Truffle:

  • 1 (24 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules

  • 2 teaspoons water

Coating:

  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

  2. Place 24 ounces chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir cream cheese, coffee granules, and water into melted chocolate until smooth; chill until firm enough to shape, about 30 minutes.

  3. Shape chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls; place on the prepared baking sheet. Chill truffles until firm, at least 1 to 2 hours.

  4. Place 6 ounces chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes.

  5. Dip truffles in melted chocolate mixture; return to the prepared baking sheet. Set aside until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

White or milk chocolate chips can be used in place of semisweet chips for coating the truffles.
