Instructions
- Set up a double boiler with 1-2 inches of water in the bottom of a pot. Heat water over medium-high heat until boiling. Once boiling, add cream to the top pot and heat until warm. Add butter until melted. Add espresso powder and milk chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
- Add caramel bits, stirring until melted (this may take several minutes).
- Remove from heat and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until ganache becomes set.
- Scoop filling into 1 tablespoon balls and drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for one hour.
- Melt Ghirardelli Melting Chocolate according to package directions (this is the chocolate wafers in the resealable pouch).
- Dip each truffle on a toothpick into the melted chocolate, tapping the side of the bowl until the excess falls off. Drop onto the parchment paper and sprinkle immediately with sea salt. Repeat until finished.
Notes
- Yes, salted caramel mocha truffles keep best stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They stay good for up to 2 weeks.
- Yes, any flavor of melting wafers will work! In testing, we preferred the taste of dark chocolate when paired with the milk chocolate caramel center. Milk or white chocolate would be delicious but definitely sweeter!
- The Salted Caramel Mocha Truffles have a bit of coffee essence, but taste more like chocolate and caramel than straight up coffee! The espresso powder enriches the chocolate flavor without overpowering it. Even my friends who aren’t nuts about coffee enjoyed these truffles.
- Do these truffles need to be refrigerated? Yes, salted caramel mocha truffles keep best stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They stay good for up to 2 weeks.
