How to make Valentine's Coffee Bombs

Melt the Chocolate

  1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.

  2. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.

Coat the Molds

  1. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate inside each sphere mold using a spoon. Ensure the entire surface is covered evenly.

  2. Place the mold in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set.

  3. Repeat the coating process with a second layer of chocolate to make the shells sturdy. Freeze again for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

  1. Mix instant coffee, sugar, powdered creamer, and optional ingredients like cocoa powder or cinnamon.

  2. Adjust the proportions based on how strong or sweet you want your coffee bombs to be.

Assemble the Coffee Bombs

  1. Carefully remove the chocolate shells from the molds. Handle them gently to avoid cracking.

  2. Fill half of the shells with 2 tsp of the coffee mixture.

  3. Warm the edge of an empty shell slightly by placing it on a warm plate or using a heated spoon.

  4. Press the warmed edge against a filled shell to seal them together, creating a sphere.

  5. Use melted chocolate to smooth the seam if needed.

Decorate

  1. Drizzle melted chocolate over the coffee bombs and decorate with sprinkles, edible glitter, or crushed nuts.

  2. Let the decorations set completely before storing.

Serve

  1. Place a coffee bomb in a mug.

  2. Pour hot milk over the bomb and watch it melt, releasing the coffee and flavors inside. Stir well to combine.

  3. Enjoy your creamy and delicious cup of coffee!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth for an even coating.

  2. Handle the chocolate shells gently to prevent cracking.
