How to Make Mocha Truffles
- Melt 4 cups (16 oz) of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or in a double boiler.
- Remove from heat and stir in 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, and 1 tablespoon of water until well combined.
- Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to shape.
- Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch diameter balls.
- Place the truffle balls on wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes until very firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt 2 cups (8 oz) of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening until smooth and glossy.
- Gently drop 5-6 frozen truffle balls into the melted chocolate, stirring quickly to coat.
- Remove the coated truffles with a fork and place them back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the truffles to cool and harden completely at room temperature.
- (Optional) Melt a few squares of white chocolate and drizzle over the hardened truffles for an elegant finish.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
