Love your recipe! Chocolate and coffee is match made in heaven! Such a beautiful treat:) Love your pictures too!
Hi Medha – so happy you commented! I just wandered over to your website – your recipes look delicious. And your writing style and photographs are so inviting. Yes, these mocha truffles have been disappearing quickly around here. Great for gifts!
I love how truffles are so easy to make but come off as elegant and fancy. The addition of coffee sounds great! I’ve never heard of Cyprus coffee before, but looks like it could be something worth a try.
yes, exactly how I feel! They look so much fancier in proportion to the effort it takes to make them. Cyprus coffee packs a punch – very strong in flavour, but addictive once you start. It’s very similar to Greek & Turkish coffee too. Love the variety of your recipes & website design – and your instagram photos are awesome!
This is a very simple recipe. I think I might some hazelnuts to these Truffles. Do you think that hazelnuts will taste good with them?
Hello! Great idea – I think if you roll them in crushed hazelnuts at the end, it would be a really nice touch. I think hazelnuts and chocolate are lovely combination!
Oooh this looks amaazing!
