These No-Bake Coffee Truffles are rich, creamy, and packed with bold coffee‑chocolate flavor, yet incredibly simple to make with no oven required. Perfect for coffee lovers, gifting, or an elegant sweet treat any time of year.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz semi‑sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1–2 tsp instant espresso powder (or 1–2 tbsp strong brewed coffee, cooled)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Cocoa powder, finely ground coffee, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
  2. Stir in the espresso powder (or cooled brewed coffee) until fully dissolved.
  3. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and let sit for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Stir gently until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in butter if using.
  5. Cover the mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, until firm enough to scoop.
  6. Once firm, use a small scoop or spoon to form small balls with your hands.
  7. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, crushed cookies, ground coffee, or chopped nuts to coat.
  8. Store truffles in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Add a splash of coffee liqueur or vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.
  • Coat truffles in melted chocolate for a firmer shell.
  • Use white chocolate chips for rolling or a sweeter variation.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly before rolling to prevent sticking.
  • Dust hands with cocoa powder while rolling for easier shaping.
