Mocha Dark Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate is usually loved by a lot of people including me and the husband, and when is there less time available to make desserts, this is the quickest option to the rescue. Make it in advance and it’s a great option to serve while entertaining guests or for small get togethers.
The richness of dark chocolate with the apt bitterness of coffee and loaded with nuts makes it so indulgent and satisfying. And the recipe makes me happy when there isn’t any additional sugar required.
How to make this?
The secret to good truffles is using a good quality chocolate. I usually use a good quality couverture for this.
Optional – Mix cocoa powder with coffee powder if you like it extra bitter. Keep them stored in an airtight container in refrigerator.
Enjoy!!!
