These Indulgent Simple Coffee Truffles blend creamy textures with a rich coffee flavor, coated in smooth melted chocolate. Perfect as a sophisticated treat, they offer options for dairy-free and low-calorie variations, making them accessible for different dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese or Coconut Butter (Use coconut butter for a dairy-free option)
  • 4 tbsp Butter (Substitute with extra coconut butter for a vegan version)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar or Erythritol (Use erythritol for a low-calorie alternative)
  • 2 tbsp Instant Coffee (Espresso powder can be used for a bolder flavor)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips or Broken-Up Chocolate (Dark chocolate adds richness; white chocolate offers a milder taste)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Gather all ingredients including cream cheese or coconut butter, butter, powdered sugar or erythritol, and instant coffee. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes so that they soften and blend smoothly.
  2. Combine and blend: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese (or coconut butter), butter, powdered sugar (or erythritol), and instant coffee. Using a hand mixer, blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Chill the mixture: Transfer the blended mixture into a flat container, spreading it evenly. Place it in the freezer for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up, which makes it easier to handle when forming the truffles.
  4. Form the truffles: Once the mixture is firm, use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape small balls from the mixture. Arrange the truffle balls on a parchment-lined plate and return to the freezer for another 15 minutes to quickly chill them.
  5. Prepare the chocolate coating: While the truffles chill, melt the chocolate chips or broken-up chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. Stir frequently to achieve a smooth, glossy melted chocolate without burning.
  6. Dip and set: Remove the chilled truffles from the freezer and dip each one completely into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined plate to allow the chocolate to set.
  7. Store your truffles: Once the chocolate coating has hardened, transfer the truffles to an airtight container to maintain freshness. Store refrigerated if using cream cheese, or at room temperature if dairy-free coconut butter is used.

Notes

  • Use coconut butter to make the truffles dairy-free and vegan by substituting both cream cheese and butter accordingly.
  • Erythritol can be used as a sugar substitute for a low-calorie version suitable for diabetic diets.
  • Espresso powder can intensify the coffee flavor if a bolder taste is desired.
  • Dark chocolate adds richness and depth, while white chocolate provides a milder, sweeter coating.
  • Keep the truffles chilled while working to prevent melting and maintain shape.
