How to Make Triple Chocolate Truffles

  1. In a heavy medium saucepan, melt 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate over very low heat, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese until thoroughly combined.
  4. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant coffee crystals in 1 tablespoon of hot water.
  5. Add the coffee mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth and glossy.
  6. Cover and chill the truffle mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
  7. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  8. Shape the chilled truffle mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Cover and chill for another 1-2 hours, or until firm.
  10. In a separate heavy medium saucepan, melt 6 ounces of milk chocolate and 1 tablespoon of shortening over low heat, stirring until smooth and melted.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  12. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the milk chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan.
  13. Return the dipped truffles to the baking sheet.
  14. Chill for about 30 minutes, or until the milk chocolate is set.
  15. In a small heavy saucepan, melt 4 ounces of white chocolate baking bar over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  16. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the set milk chocolate truffles in artistic designs.
  17. Before serving, chill for a few minutes to allow the white chocolate to set.
