Yield about 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter, well softened
1 large egg, well beaten
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, broken into 6 pieces
1 tablespoon strong coffee
About 1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate threads or grated chocolate

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter together with the egg until evenly blended. In a double boiler over gently simmering water, combine the chocolate and the coffee and melt, stirring occasionally.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place about 2 1/2 cups of the confectioners' sugar. Add the butter and egg mixture, the melted chocolate mixture, cream and vanilla. Stir well and, if necessary, add more sugar to make the mixture into a paste stiff enough to handle. Roll the paste quickly into little balls, using about 2 heaping teaspoons for each one. Roll the balls in the chocolate threads. Chill until firm, on a tray lined with parchment paper in the refrigerator. If desired, layer the balls with parchment in an airtight cookie tin and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

These truffles were a bit too hard for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a softer ganache.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a higher ratio of dark chocolate to ganache.

These truffles were delicious! I especially liked the way the bitterness of the dark chocolate balanced out the sweetness of the ganache.

I had some trouble getting the truffles to set properly. I think I might have used too much cream.
