Ingredients

• 8 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 1/4 cup of espresso or strong coffee
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

1. In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped dark chocolate.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it starts to simmer. Do not boil.
3. Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate.
4. Using a whisk, gently stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth and well combined.
5. Add the espresso or strong coffee and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.
7. Once the mixture is firm, use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out small portions of the truffle mixture.
8. Roll each portion into a smooth ball using your hands. Repeat until all the truffle mixture is used.
9. Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
10. Transfer the coated truffles to a parchment-lined container or plate and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set.
11. Serve the cappuccino truffles chilled and enjoy!
