❤️ Why You'll Love Them
- They are sweet, rich, and creamy.
- They're simple and easy to make.
- They make a great gift.
🧾 Ingredients
- Chocolate: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
- Coconut milk: Adds a rich creamy flavor. Light coconut milk will be too thin, so I don't recommend it.
- Instant coffee: Adds the coffee flavor. Instant espresso will also work.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness.
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds a chocolaty flavor.

📋 Recipe
Chocolate Coffee Truffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 ounce bag)
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- 4 teaspoons instant coffee - I used Starbucks medium roast
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Pour coconut milk into a saucepan on the stovetop. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and place over coconut milk. This will act as a double boiler (or use a double boiler if you have one). Heat on medium heat until coconut milk comes to a simmer, and chocolate chips are melted slightly.
- Remove both from the heat, and pour coconut milk over the chocolate chips to finish melting. Mix until smooth.
- Add instant coffee and salt. Mix thoroughly. Pour into a 7 ½" x 9 ½" glass baking dish, or similar size. Cover and put in the refrigerator to set.
- Once the mixture is set, use a melon baller, spoon, or ice cream scoop to form balls. Roll balls in your hands, then into cacao powder. Refrigerate.

*Note: Nutrition information should be considered an estimate only. Different nutrition calculators give you different results.
**Important! If you are gluten-free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole-bean organic coffee, and grind it myself. I learned that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned trying organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues. So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten-free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life.
