GARNISH
Make the truffles: 1. Add the ground coffee to the cream in a microwave-safe small bowl and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Let stand for 30 minutes.
2. Combine the chopped milk chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe medium bowl. Heat on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir. If the chocolate is still fairly solid, heat for another 30 seconds. Stir the mixture until smooth. If there still seem to be several unmelted pieces of chocolate, heat again for about 20 seconds, and then stir.
3. Add the coffee-cream mixture, brewed coffee and vanilla and stir until smooth.
