Chocolate Truffle with Cointreau

Today we have truffles. And not mushrooms that we’ve already cooked, it’s about chocolate truffles. Actually they were called just after picking, through a similar appearance.

Classic truffles are a chocolate candy with cream ganache (chocolate cream, cream and butter), then they crumble in cocoa or wafer chips, and in the cream sometimes you can add details, such as alcohol (rum, liqueurs, brandy).

The inventor of the truffle is a French pastry chef Louis Dufour. There is a story that on the eve of the New Year he ran all the necessary products for the manufacture of sweets and he had to come up with something new. Here and there were truffles, he just mixed all the traditional ingredients and very soon this delicacy won the world love.
