Ingredients
1/4Cupheavy cream
1,12 ounce bagSemi-sweet chocolate chips
2Generous spoonfuls of instant coffee
1/2CupKahlua
Cocoa powder for coating
Instructions
In a small saucepan heat cream over medium low heat. Once steam starts to rise from cream and just before it reaches a boil remove the pan from the heat and mix in the instant coffee. Pour chocolate chips into the pan and let sit without stirring for about one minute. Using a whisk or wooden spoon stir until well combined and smooth. Add the kahlua and mix well until smooth and creamy.
Pour chocolate into a 9x9 baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge to chill for several hours to overnight.
Once you chocolate has hardened remove from fridge and roll spoonfuls into 1 inch balls. (Be prepared to get your hands a bit messy) Place balls in a bowl filled with cocoa powder and roll the ball in the cocoa to coat. Place in a plastic container and store in the fridge until ready to serve. You can place your truffles on a plate by themselves or in little paper candy liners to add to a plate of other treats.
