📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the chocolate, salt and espresso powder in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.
2
Heat the cream in the microwave at 50% power for ⏱️ 60-90 seconds until hot, but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate and allow to sit for at least ⏱️ 5 minutes, untouched.
3
Stir the chocolate and cream until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for ⏱️ 15 minutes, then refrigerate for ⏱️ 1-2 hours (or overnight) until the chocolate is firm.
4
Remove the chocolate from the fridge and let it sit for ⏱️ 20-30 minutes at room temperature, until you can easily scoop the chocolate without it breaking apart. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to make balls of chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
5
Roll the balls of chocolate between your hands until a round, smooth ball is formed. Then roll in toppings, if desired.

To Add a Chocolate Coating
7
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers at 50% power in ⏱️ 30 second intervals; stir after each interval and continue until the chocolate is melted. Reduce microwave time as needed so the chocolate does not burn. Use a fork to dip the truffle in the chocolate, covering it completely. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set.
