Truffles (Chocolate)

For some there is therapy, for the rest of us there is CHOCOLATE. Chocolate is one delicacy that no one can refuse. The chocolate industry has been busy entertaining consumers by introducing creative delicacies with each being tastier and more exquisite than the previous. One such miracle happens to be “The Chocolate Truffle”. Ever wondered where do chocolate truffles get their name from? Well, “truffle” is derived from a Latin word meaning “Lump”. Truffles are named after the mushrooms with the similar name because of the striking resemblance they share. The first chocolates were made in a crude way to look like the lumps... truffle lumps: originally called Truffles Chocolate referencing the look and what these truffles are made of: chocolate. The classical recipe of the Homemade Chocolate Truffle includes a ganache which is a mixture of bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream. The classical recipe is experimented with varied ingredients to obtain different flavours. No matter the flavour, they are decadent little silky-smooth bits of delight.
