Green Tea Truffles

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 4 decaffeinated green tea bags
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

1. 1

   Place chocolate in medium bowl. In small saucepan, bring half-and-half to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Allow to steep 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Gently squeeze tea bags over half-and-half to extract extra flavor and discard. Return to a simmer and then pour over chocolate. Stir to combine. Place bowl in freezer and chill until set, about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. When mixture hardens, scoop out 2 teaspoons and roll in palms to form 1-inch ball. Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture.

3. 3

   Place cocoa in shallow dish. Roll balls in cocoa to coat. Shake off excess. Serve or store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
