Bring the heavy cream to a simmer over low heat, just until it starts bubbling. Stir in the espresso powder until dissolved. Pour the cream mixture over the chopped chocolate, making sure the chocolate is completely submerged. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
Stir the mixture together until it’s completely smooth to create the ganache. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted, warm it up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds increments until smooth. Stir in the espresso liqueur.
Strain the warm ganache through a fine mesh sieve into a shallow dish. I just use an 8”x8” glass pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until firm, about 2 hours.
Once firm, use a small cookie scoop to portion the ganache onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Chill again in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Roll each truffle between your hands to form a ball then immediately roll them in cocoa powder until coated. Dust off any excess. Enjoy the truffles chilled or at room temperature!
