Ingredients

  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted margarine
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy whipping cream or coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup prepared espresso
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate and margarine in a glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir and repeat this process one more time.
  • Separately, heat the cream, espresso, cayenne pepper and cinnamon over medium heat until simmering. Remove from the heat and pour over the melted chocolate mixture. With a rubber spatula, stir the chocolate until the mixture is smooth
  • Pour the chocolate mixture, called ganache, into a bowl and refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour. Using a melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop out the ganache and roll into balls with your hands. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll truffles in powdered sugar and serve or store.
