Words Jed’s Coffee and In Rhi’s Pantry

INGREDIENTS 

1 Jed’s Coffee Co. capsule

180ml cream

Pinch of salt

150g milk chocolate, finely chopped

150g dark chocolate, finely chopped

Chocolate sprinkles and/or cocoa powder for rolling

METHOD

1. Using the Jed’s Coffee Co. capsule, pour a ristretto shot and stir into the cream with a pinch of salt. 
2. Place the chopped milk and dark chocolate into a microwave safe bowl, then pour the cream and coffee mixture over the chocolate. 
3. Put the bowl into the microwave, and melt the mixture in 15 second bursts, stirring well in between. Repeat until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth. 
4. Transfer to a container and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours, or until the chocolate has set completely. 
5. Roll a spoonful of the mixture into a ball, then roll in either the chocolate sprinkles or cocoa powder until completely coated. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
6. Lay the rolled truffles on a plate, then return to the fridge to set for a final hour. Enjoy when ready, and keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
