Instructions:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine heavy cream, corn syrup, butter, and instant coffee.
- Microwave the mixture on medium-high heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
- Add white chocolate to the bowl and stir until fully melted.
- Once the mixture is cool to the touch, transfer it to a mixing bowl and beat on high speed until the color lightens. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- After chilling, use your hands to roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, using icing sugar to prevent sticking.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or additional icing sugar for a classic finish. Alternatively, drizzle them with melted white chocolate for an elegant touch.
- Store the truffles in a closed container in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to 2 weeks. However, with their irresistible flavor, they likely won’t last that long!
Indulge in these espresso truffles whenever you need a little pick-me-up or want to impress your guests with a homemade delicacy. Enjoy the rich flavors of chocolate and coffee in every decadent bite!
