CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE COATING RECIPES

Steps:

• Make the crust: Place Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush into a fine crumble. Add melted butter and toss to combine.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of a 9"-x-9" baking dish and pour in Oreo mixture, pressing down to form a crust.
• Make the mocha truffle: Melt chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave until fully melted, then set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat butter and vanilla on medium until light and fluffy. Turn mixer to low and gradually mix in powdered sugar, 2 cups at a time. Once combined, mix in 1/4 cup heavy cream, coffee, chocolate, and salt until fully incorporated and smooth. Transfer to baking dish and smooth evenly on top of Oreo crust, then chill in the refrigerator while making ganache.
• Make the ganache: Put semisweet chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. Heat remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, just until small bubbles form. Pour warm cream on top of chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes, until chocolate has mostly melted. Whisk to combine, then pour on top of truffle bars and smooth evenly.
• Refrigerate truffle bars for 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat all ingredients (except chocolate chips) until well blended. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Spoon batter (it will be thick) into prepared pan.
• Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Cool for 15 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
