Name: Bitter Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients: 1/2 c Unsalted butter; well softened; 1 lg Egg; well beaten; 3 oz Unsweetened chocolate; broken into 6 pieces; 1 tb Strong coffee; About 1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted; 1/2 c Heavy cream; 1 tb Vanilla extract; 1/2 c Chocolate threads or grated chocolate

Children are born into God’s family and receive their inheritance not by marriage and procreation but by faith and regeneration. Which means that single people in Christ have zero disadvantage in bearing children for God and may, in some ways, have great advantage. The apostle Paul was single in Christ, and he said of his converts, “Though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your Father in Christ Jesus through the gospel” (1 Cor. 4:15). Paul was a great father and never married. And does he not speak beautifully for single women in Christ in 1 Thessalonians 2:7 when he writes, “We were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children?” So it will be said of many single women in Christ, “She was a great mother and never married.”

1/2	c	Unsalted butter; well softened

3	oz	Unsweetened chocolate; broken into 6 pieces
1	tb	Strong coffee
		About 1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted

INSTRUCTIONS

In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter together with the egg until evenly
blended. In a double boiler over gently simmering water, combine the
chocolate and the coffee and melt, stirring occasionally.
In a large mixing bowl, place about 2 1/2 cups of the confectioners sugar.
Add the butter and egg mixture, the melted chocolate mixture, cream and
vanilla. Stir well and, if necessary, add more sugar to make the mixture
into a paste stiff enough to handle. Roll the paste quickly into little
balls, using about 2 heaping teaspoons for each one. Roll the balls in the
chocolate threads. Chill until firm, on a tray lined with parchment paper
in the refrigerator. If desired, layer the balls with parchment in an
airtight cookie tin and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
