Ingredients
  • 10ounces chopped dark bitter-sweet choclate(or chips)
  • 3/4cup heavy cream
  • 1tablespoon instant coffee powder
  • 2tablespoons orange liquor
  • 1teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/3cup candied orange peelI used Paradise Frui Co.’s candied orange peel
Instructions
  1. Pour chocolate chips or chopped chocolate into a bowl.
  2. Stir instant coffee powder into heavy cream and heat in microwave 30 seconds on high power (just until hot).
  3. Pour hot cream in the bowl over chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk hot cream and chocolate together until smooth and glossy.
  5. Whisk orange liquor into chocolate mixture.
  6. Add orange zest and candied orange pieces into chocolate mixture and stir just until combined.
  7. Pour chocolate orange mixture into shallow dish and pop into fridge to firm up, approximately 1 hour.
  8. Once chocolate mixture is firm, use spoon to scoop out and form into balls with your hands. Work quickly as body heat will soften the mixture very quickly. food-grade service gloves work well with this task, but are not necessary. Put rolled truffles into fridge for a few minutes to firm up before rolling in cocoa powder or sugar to finish off your truffles. Store in refrigerator until ready to eat.
