French Chocolate Truffle Recipes

Chocolate truffles for me are one of the signs of Christmas is coming in France and I hope you will also start the Christmas tradition of making your own chocolate truffles. The chocolate truffle as we know it today was first created in France in 1895, where it started as a simple chocolate ganache, a ganache is a blended mix of cream and chocolate, that is used for many purposes like fillings, coatings and glazes according to the thickness of the ganache. In the truffle it can be used as the body and the glaze coating of the truffle, but you will always know that you will not run out of volunteers to clean the mixing bowl out after you have prepared the truffles...
Over the years truffles have moved on from France, to England, Belgium, Switzerland and even onto the USA and further abroad, where each travel has added or changed the recipe but at its heart it is a simple but extremely rich dessert and you must make sure that you use quality ingredients especially when it comes to the chocolate.
Now I hope you enjoy this book and the recipes you will be soon using for yourself. Thank you.
