Servings 14
Ingredients
- Mocha Center
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp almond butter, natural (unsalted)
- 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocao powder (can use cocoa)
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder (can omit)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Chocolate Coffee Glaze
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee
Instructions
- First make mocha center: Combine all ingredients to a small bowl and heat in microwave for 1 -2 minutes on medium, stirring/whisking until smooth and combined.
- Place mixture in fridge and let set up for at least two hours, or until very firm.
- When mixture is very firm, scoop out a teaspoon at a time, roll into a 1" ball with the palms of your hands (it helps a little to run your hands under cold water first). Place balls on a parchment-lined sheet and place in freezer for 15 minutes to harden up.
- Meanwhile, melt together all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes on medium. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Remove chilled mocha balls from freezer. With a spoon, dip each one into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment or wax paper-lined sheet.
- Place in fridge to firm up for about 15 minutes. Optional: You can make extra chocolate glaze and dip in glaze a second time for an even richer truffle. Let chill, serve and enjoy!
