Ingredients

Directions

  • In a large saucepan on medium heat, combine heavy cream with half (1 ½ teaspoons) of the espresso powder. Heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture bubbles around the edges. Remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate to the pan and stir until melted. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Transfer chocolate ganache to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm, approximately 4 hours up to 1 week.
  • Using a small scoop or melon baller, drop 1-inch balls of chocolate ganache onto a wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes until firm.
  • Combine the cocoa and remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of espresso powder in a shallow bowl. Roll the chocolate balls in powder mixture to coat, then transfer to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
