Chocolate Truffle– Nothing beats the super delicious, melt in mouth kind of tempting chocolate truffles covered with different super inviting and exotic coatings.
I have been planning to make chocolate truffle just to post on the blog for a long time. It’s not like I haven’t made chocolate truffle before, I had, I mean I always makeGingersnap Truffle or cake pops with leftover cake or cake crumbs. But whenever I would make the chocolate truffle, they were always finish real quick.
Even this time I solemnly baked the basic vanilla cake just to make the crumbs for the truffles. I did not tell the girls what I was making but when the oven bell ringed, they knew that something was baked. I had to bribe them with two truffles each before taking pictures and even after they kept hovering around asking for more.
There are numerous ways of making truffles and some of them even don’t need cake crumbs at all. But I followed this recipe from Paul Hollywoods A Bakers Life which used cake crumbs and I even used all four coating ideas he has advised in the recipe. I literally fell in love with this book and have tried a few recipes already.
The pictures in the book are just breathtaking and I just keep turning the pages, bookmarking at least alk of the recipes. Don’t know If I could make them all but as the book is borrowed from the library, can’t keep it forever, I wish
