Instructions
Makes about 15 pieces.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces in a suitable bowl.
- Put the cream on the stove over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Pour it over the broken chocolate, add the wine, powdered sugar, vanilla and the coffee (dissolve the coffee beforehand in 1 tsp water). Stir until you get a homogeneous mixture. If the chocolate does not manage to melt, place it over a water bath until melted.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leave to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Take some of the mixture with a spoon, shape into a ball and roll in cocoa. Chill the finished truffles for 30 minutes in the fridge. Serve lightly chilled or at room temperature.
