COATING

Make the truffles: 1. Place the cream and coffee beans in a microwave-safe small bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Let stand for 30 minutes; remove the coffee beans and discard.

2. Combine the chopped white chocolate, cooled cream and butter in a microwave-safe small bowl. Heat on high for 1 minutes. 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 liqueur and stir until smooth.
