1 batch
ingredients
- 11 ounces bittersweet chocolate, best quality
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese (no substitutes!)
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons brewed coffee, best quality regular or decaf
- 9 tablespoons coffee liqueur, good quality
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 ounces semisweet chocolate-flavored candy coating (you may use bittersweet coating chocolate if you wish)
directions
- First take a medium sized mixing bowl and blend your mascarpone, coffee, coffee liquer, and vanilla extract.
- Add your heavy cream and whipping gream and stir until combined and homogeneous, but do not overdo it, as the mixture should not be whipped!
- Then you will need to melt your 11 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and then stir the melted chocolate into the coffee cream mixture.
- Mix until it is fully combined.
- You will need to chill this mixture for a couple of hours, and then scoop out the mixture into approximately 1 inch balls.
- When making these balls, if you find the edges arent smooth, you can make them smoother by pressing your fingers around the ball.
- After you have formed the balls, you will need to chill again for approximately 1 hour.
- After they have chilled for one hour, melt your bittersweet or semisweet coating chocolate and stir until completely melted.
- Dip each of the refrigerated balls (these will be the centers of your truffle) into the melted coating chocolate and coat completely, afterwhich you will want to place on a tray covered with waxed paper.
- Chill your truffles for 1 to 2 hours until they are completely hard.
- ENJOY!

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
