This block is only 3 days old and I'm already in chocolate heaven. We had to make and present 4 different truffles (a dozen each) and here is the result. From the center outward....The candies in the center is a muscadine. It is a milk chocolate and praline ganache, flavored with Cointreau and covered in tempered milk chocolate.
The "spikey" truffle is a milk chocolate ganache flavored with Cognac and covered in tempered milk chocolate.
Next is a Rochet which is a dark chocolate ganache mixed with crushed feuilletine (think sugar cones). It is then covered in tempered dark chocolate and rolled in chopped, roasted almonds. It's like an outrageous Nestle's Crunch Bar.
Last is a dark chocolate truffle rolled in cocoa powder.
The happy thought is that we were able to bring them home. My little presentation platter only represents half of what I made. I'm overrun with chocolate and it's only Wednesday. Anybody want some truffles?
