    List of Ingredients




    1 cup all purpose flour
    1/2 cup cocoa
    1/4 tsp salt
    2 tbsp granulated sugar
    1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup softened butter
    1 egg

    Truffle topping:
    1 can evaporated milk
    6 egg yolks
    2 cups granulated sugar
    1-1/4 cups cocoa
    1/2 cup butter
    4 tsp instant coffee granules
    1/4 tsp salt
    3/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

    Recipe



    Pastry:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Blend flour with cocoa, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Beat Cream Cheese and butter until smooth. Add egg and mix on low until combined. Add flour mixture and mix until combined and crumbly. Shape into a ball and knead lightly until smooth. Press evenly into an aluminium foil lined 7 x 11-inch (2 L) baking dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until firm. Cool.

    Truffle topping:
    Whisk evaporated milk with egg yolks in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Blend in sugar, cocoa, butter, coffee and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 15 minutes or until thickened enough to begin mounding on a spoon. Remove from heat and pour mixture over cooled pastry. Smooth top, if necessary. Sprinkle with almonds. Chill until set and then slice using a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water.
