Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons butter or more coconut butter, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar or erythritol
- ½ teaspoon instant coffee
- 3 oz chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Ensure cream cheese, coconut butter, and butter are at room temperature to allow for smooth mixing.
- Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine cream cheese (or coconut butter), butter (or additional coconut butter), powdered sugar (or erythritol), and instant coffee. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Chill mixture: Place the mixture in the freezer for a few minutes until it firms up enough to scoop easily.
- Form truffle balls: Using a mini cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze truffles: Return the balls to the freezer until they are fully firm. Alternatively, if using a container, cut the firm mixture into bars instead of balls.
- Optional chocolate coating: If desired, melt the chocolate chips with a little oil to create a smooth coating. Dip the chilled truffles or bars into the melted chocolate for an additional layer of flavor and texture.
- Set coating: Allow the chocolate-coated truffles to set until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve and store: Cut the chocolate-coated truffles into bite-sized pieces if in bars and store them in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy chilled for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using coconut butter and erythritol makes this recipe suitable for a dairy-free and lower sugar option.
- Instant coffee powder dissolves easily and imparts a strong coffee flavor without bitterness.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, add a teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil to melted chocolate.
- Store truffles tightly covered to prevent them from absorbing fridge odors.
- These truffles are best enjoyed chilled and can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer.
