CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Steps:
- Chop the chocolates finely with a sharp knife. Place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just boils. Turn off the heat and allow the cream to sit for 20 seconds. Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with chocolate. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the Grand Marnier, if using, coffee, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
- With 2 teaspoons, spoon round balls of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm. Roll each dollop of chocolate in your hands to roughly make a round ball. Roll in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, or both. These will keep refrigerated for weeks, but serve at room temperature.
SPLENDA MOCHA TRUFFLES
This recipe is similar to other Truffle recipes, but differs in that it uses only SPLENDA to sweeten & low-fat ingredients. I've tried to match their appearance as close as possible to the true French Truffles that melt in your mouth. The amount of SPLENDA used is, of course to suit one's taste. The amount used here is not too sweet, yet enough to take the bitter bite out of the chocolate.

Steps:
- In a medium sized bowl, dissolve instant coffee in water.
- Add cream cheese and blend until light& creamy.
- Add SPLENDA sweetener and blend well.
- In a separate small container, melt chocolate squares in microwave for 2 minutes on medium power or in a double boiler.
- Add to cream cheese mixture and blend well.
- Chill about 1 hour or until firm enough to shape.
- Shape into small drops about 1 inch.
- Place on sheet of wax paper and freeze.
- Prior to removing Truffles from freezer, mix cocoa and 1 Tbsp of instant coffee together, crushing the coffee granules to make a fine powder.
- When ready, remove Truffles& let sit about 5 minutes before coating.
- Hint: This coating is done easier by placing coffee into a ziploc plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush before adding cocoa.
- Then place Truffles into bag and gently shake to coat.
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Steps:
- Make the ganache: Place 16 ounces of chocolate and the cream in the top of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted; remove from heat. Add butter and Cognac and stir until combined.
- Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until the mixture is very cold and set, but still pliable, about 2 hours.
- Melt remaining 12 ounces chocolate in the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted; remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Using a 1/4-ounce ice cream scoop, drop ganache onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Chill 10 minutes.
- Coat the palm of one of your hands with about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate. Roll balls, one at a time, between your palms until evenly coated with chocolate. Roll in cocoa powder to coat. Transfer to second baking sheet. Repeat with remaining balls, coating your palm with more chocolate as needed. Chill until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the truffles will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill the chocolate mixture thoroughly before rolling: This will help the truffles set up properly and prevent them from being too soft or crumbly.
- Use a variety of coatings: Don't just stick to traditional cocoa powder. Try rolling the truffles in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
- Store the truffles in the refrigerator: Truffles are best enjoyed chilled. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Garnish with fresh mint: A sprig of fresh mint adds a touch of elegance and freshness to the truffles.
