Notes

  • Extra festive: Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, cocoa powder, or drizzle with white chocolate
  • Stronger coffee flavor: Increase espresso powder to 2 tsp
  • Dipping tip: Keep truffles cold — warm centers make coating messy
  • Gifting: Store in mini cupcake liners for a polished look
