Mocha Truffle Cups Recipe

Prep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min.

Yield: 30 Servings

10 30 40

Ingredients

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
2-2/3 cups milk chocolate chips
2-2/3 cups red, green or white candy coating disks
Red and green sprinkles, optional

Directions

In a saucepan, heat cream and butter over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of saucepan (mixture should reach a temperature of 180°). Remove from the heat; whisk in coffee granules.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt milk chocolate chips. Stir cream mixture into melted chocolate chips until blended. Cover and refrigerate truffle filling until firm, about 2 hours.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy disks. On a baking sheet, place 30 miniature paper or foil muffin liners. With a pastry brush, brush inside of each liner with melted candy coating. Refrigerate to harden. Apply a second layer of candy coating.
Carefully peel liner away from chocolate; discard liner. Remove filling from refrigerator; stir. If mixture is too thick, microwave at 5-10 second intervals until soft enough to pipe. Spoon filling into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe stars or rosettes into truffle cups. Cover and refrigerate. Garnish with sprinkles just before serving. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
