Chocolate covered coffee beans
Description
Chocolate covered coffee beans are made by coating roasted medium-to-light roast coffee beans in melted chocolate, which can be dark, milk, white, or ruby chocolate. The recipe involves melting chocolate gently, either in a double boiler or microwave, ensuring it does not burn. The beans are then stirred into the melted chocolate to fully cover each bean. Using two forks, the chocolate-coated beans are lifted and individually placed on parchment paper to cool and harden. This method creates individual pieces that are firm and crunchy with a glossy chocolate shell. The combination provides a rich coffee flavor softened by the sweetness and texture of the chocolate.
Because the recipe does not specify storing or serving suggestions, these can be enjoyed as a snack or used as a garnish or ingredient in desserts that benefit from the contrasting textures and bitter-sweet flavor.
Ingredients
- 20 gram coffee beans medium to light roast works best
- 60 gram chocolate dark, milk, white or ruby, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare your work area by laying out a sheet of baking/parchment paper or wax paper on your countertop. Also, place two forks within easy reach near your workspace.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or place a heatproof glass or metal bowl over a saucepan containing simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.Alternatively, you can also melt the chocolate in the microwave. Give it a quick stir at 15-second intervals until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in all of the coffee beans at once.
- Move the beans around in the melted chocolate using a spoon or spatula to ensure that each individual bean is completely coated.
- Using one fork, lift a few chocolate-covered beans up and out of the bowl. Then, use the second fork to individually drop one bean at a time onto the prepared paper. If you have any beans sticking together, simply use the forks to gently pry them apart on the paper.
- Allow the chocolate coating to fully set and dry, which will take approximately 20 minutes at room temperature. For faster drying, you can place the beans in the fridge.
- If you'd like, you can do a second coating of chocolate by repeating the process to add an extra layer of chocolate around each coffee bean.
