Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 40 Servings

Ingredients

9

ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), chopped

1

cup heavy cream

¼

cup amaretto

¾

cup coffee beans, finely ground

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring cream and amaretto to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour over chocolate and let sit until chocolate is softened, about 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Cover and chill until ganache is firm enough to roll into balls, at least 3 hours.

    Step 2

    Place ground coffee in a small bowl. Scoop out a scant tablespoonful of ganache. Roll into a ball (if you’d like, wear disposable gloves to keep your hands clean), then roll in espresso. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ganache. Chill truffles until firm, at least 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Do ahead: Ganache can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled. Truffles can be made 1 week ahead; store airtight in the refrigerator.
