For an extra touch, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before the chocolate coating sets. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. If the truffle mixture is too soft to handle, chill it for a longer period. Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepMelt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, place the 24 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take approximately 1 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
03
StepCreate the Truffle Base: Stir in the softened cream cheese, instant coffee granules, and water into the melted chocolate until the mixture is homogenous and velvety. (2 minutes)
04
StepChill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until the mixture is firm enough to handle and shape into balls. This will take about 30 minutes.
05
StepShape the Truffles: Once firm, shape the chocolate mixture into 1-inch truffle balls. Place the formed truffles on the prepared baking sheet. (20 minutes)
06
StepChill the Truffles: Return the truffles to the refrigerator and chill until they are firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
07
StepPrepare the Chocolate Coating: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. (1 to 3 minutes)
08
StepCoat the Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Place the coated truffles back on the prepared baking sheet. (20 minutes)
09
StepSet the Coating: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely, which will take at least 30 minutes. You can speed this up by placing them in the refrigerator.

StepServe: Enjoy these delectable mocha truffles chilled or at room temperature.
