Mocha Truffles

MOCHA TRUFFLES

225g (8oz) plain chocolate

60 ml (4tbsp) condensed milk

few drops of coffee flavouring or strong black coffee

cocoa powder

1. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a bowl over hot water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. If you do allow the water to touch the bottom then it is easy to over cook the chocolate and for it to split become dull once set.

2. Stir in the condensed milk and a few drops of coffee flavouring

3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then form into small balls.

4. Roll in cocoa powder and leave until set

Makes about 225g (8oz)

I am not a huge fan of coffee but I quite like these at the end of a meal and I am lucky to have a coffee loving other half who loves it when I make these. It really depends on the strength of the coffee you are using as to whether these are really strong coffee flavoured so you can adapt these to suit your pallet quite easily.
