  3. Strain the cream to remove coffee grounds, then combine it with the melted chocolate and unsalted butter, whisking until a velvety ganache forms.
Infusing Coffee Flavor
  1. The key to the perfect coffee-infused truffle lies in controlling the coffee intensity. Experiment with the coffee-to-cream ratio to achieve your desired flavor profile.
Shaping and Coating
  1. Allow the ganache to cool and firm up in the refrigerator.
  2. Once set, scoop portions of the ganache and roll them into small spheres.
  3. Coat each truffle in cocoa powder for a delightful finish.
Chilling and Storing
