What You'll Need

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 4 squares (4 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, melted
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped

What to Do

  1. In a medium bowl, dissolve the coffee granules in the water. Add the remaining ingredients except the almonds.
     
  2. With an electric beater on medium speed, beat until smooth; cover and chill for 30 minutes.
     
  3. Roll into 1-inch balls then roll in the chopped almonds, coating completely. Serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Notes
