A chocolate truffle is a type of chocolate confectionery that is traditionally made with a chocolate ganache center and coated in cocoa powder, coconut, or chopped nuts. The name "truffle" comes from the chocolate truffles similarity in appearance to truffles, a French tuber fungus. Chocolate truffles are hand-rolled into a spherical or ball shape. The inside of a chocolate truffle consists of melted chocolate, butter, cream, nuts, and different flavorings. The ganache is made by combining chocolate and boiling cream to create a rich, thick substance that resembles velvety icing but is less spreadable. There are different types of chocolate truffles, including Swiss, French, Spanish, Belgian, and American truffles. Most chocolate truffles are sphere-shaped, but others are curved or look like a cone. Chocolate truffles can have various flavorings, such as toffee, pure vanilla, praline, orange liqueur, Mexican chocolate, and chocolate with avocado. Chocolate truffles are pure magic and are even better when made from plants.
