Writing this post makes my mouth water! The truffles turned out amazingly sinfully delicious! Though me and ritesh finished all of them…Sigh! But now you guys can definitely make this super simple yet mouthwatering truffle. Common who doesn’t like Chocolate???
Chocolate Truffle name derives from the usual shape they take as the word ‘truffle’ derives from the Latin word tuber, meaning “swelling” or “lump”, which later became tufer.
The chocolate truffle was first created by Antoine Dufour in Chambéry, France in December 1895. They reached a wider public with the establishment of the Prestat chocolate shop in London by Antoine Dufour in 1902, which still sells “Napoleon III” truffles to the original recipe.There are now three main types of chocolate truffles: American, European, and Swiss. This recipe will make around 60 truffles.
