Coffee Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These coffee truffles are a quick and delicious treat that combines rich creaminess with a bold coffee flavor. Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a simple homemade gift, they come together in just minutes with minimal ingredients.

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter
• 2 tbsp butter, or additional coconut butter
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
• 1/2 tsp instant coffee
• 3 oz chocolate chips or broken-up chocolate (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring the cream cheese (or coconut butter) and butter (or additional coconut butter) to room temperature if they are not already soft.
2. Step 2: Combine all ingredients until smooth. Using a hand mixer will give the smoothest texture, but stirring with a fork works as well and still tastes great.
3. Step 3: Spread the mixture into a container, or freeze it for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop into balls using a mini cookie scoop and place them onto a parchment-lined plate.
4. Step 4: Freeze until the truffles are firm. If using a container, cut into bars or squares once set.
5. Step 5: If desired, dip the truffles in melted chocolate. For a smoother chocolate coating, stir half a teaspoon of oil into the melted chocolate before dipping (this step is optional).
6. Step 6: To create bite-sized pieces like in the photos, cut the truffles in half as soon as the chocolate sets.
7. Step 7: Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers to keep them fresh.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, use coconut butter in place of cream cheese and butter.
• Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar or erythritol to your taste.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to deepen the flavor.
• Use good-quality chocolate for dipping to enhance the richness and texture.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage. When ready to enjoy, let frozen truffles thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving. Reheat chocolate-dipped truffles gently if needed to soften the coating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?

It’s best to use powdered sugar for a smooth texture, but if you only have regular sugar, pulse it in a blender or food processor until fine before mixing.

What if I don’t have instant coffee on hand?

You can substitute with a small amount of strong brewed coffee or espresso powder, keeping in mind this may slightly change the texture of the truffles.

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Bring the cream cheese (or coconut butter) and butter (or additional coconut butter) to room temperature if they are not already soft. This softening will help them blend more smoothly.
2. Mix Ingredients: Combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar (or erythritol), and instant coffee until the mixture is smooth. Using a hand mixer will provide the smoothest results, but stirring with a fork works as well.
3. Shape Truffles: Spread the mixture into a container or freeze it briefly until firm enough to scoop. Use a mini cookie scoop to form balls and place them onto a parchment-lined plate.
4. Freeze Until Firm: Freeze the shaped truffle balls until they are firm to the touch. If you spread the mixture in a container, you can cut them into bars or squares instead of scooping balls.
5. Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and dip the truffles in the melted chocolate. For a smoother dip, stir half a teaspoon of oil into the melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set before cutting the truffles in half, if you want to create bite-sized pieces.
6. Storage: Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers to keep them fresh until ready to serve.

Notes

• Room temperature ingredients blend more easily, resulting in smoother truffles.
• Powdered sugar can be replaced with erythritol for a lower-sugar version.
• If dipping in chocolate, adding a small amount of oil smooths the melted chocolate for easier coating.
• Store truffles in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain firmness and freshness.
• Cutting truffles in half after the chocolate coating sets creates smaller bite-sized treats.
