Cappuccino Truffles

Sunday, January 4, 2009

Another truffles creation! This time Instant Coffee Powder is used to give it a strong coffee taste!
This time round, the truffles are more or less normal sized and they do looks rounder. Hee...hee...
(Recipe adapted from "TRUFFLES" by Dede Wilson)
Ingredients:
  • 135ml of Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 30g finely ground Instant Coffee Powder
  • 227g Milk Couverture Chocolate (Finely chopped)
  • 14g White Chocolate Block
  • 1 tsp Cocoa Powder
  • 20 small fluted paper cups

Method:

  1. Place cream and coffee grounds in a saucepan over medium heat until it just comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and let sit for 10min. Reheat to a simmer, remove from heat and immediately sprinkle chopped milk chocolate into cream. Cover and allow to sit for 5min letting the heat melt the chocolate. Stir very gently until smooth.
  2. Pour mixture into a shallow bowl. Cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight or refrigerate until firm about 4hours.
  3. Grate white chocolate and toss with 1 tsp cocoa powder in a bowl. Coat hands with cocoa and roll ganache into balls
  4. Toss truffles in grated chocolate coating and place in fluted paper cups.
