For the longest time, I had no idea what a truffle was. Seriously. Same thing with truffle mushrooms. Anything with the word truffle and I was like…Nope.
Then one year my aunt Janine came to visit and she brought a bag of truffles from Costco and I was instantly hooked. They were so delicious and they just melted in my mouth.

Chocolate heaven.
Ugh, so good.

Several years later I worked in a really fancy Italian restaurant and one of their signature desserts was a warm chocolate cake that sat atop a thick vanilla sauce. It had a perfect truffle on top and I was hard-pressed to not eat that dessert every.single.day. because it was the perfect dessert. Recently, though, I’ve been missing those delicious truffles.

So I decided to make my own!
Instead of going the route of a plain, standard chocolate truffle, I dressed mine up with Chambord to make a black raspberry truffle. With this recipe you can make any combination of flavorful truffles, just substitute the Chambord for whatever flavoring you’d like: orange zest, lemon, creme de menthe, congac…the list goes on. Have fun!

8oz Bittersweet Chocolate, Chopped
5oz Heavy Cream
3 Tbsp Chambord
1/2 C Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1| Heat the heavy cream in a small pot over medium-high heat until it reaches a rolling boil, stirring constantly.

2| Remove pot from heat, then add chopped chocolate and stir until completely melted and mixed together.
3| Stir in the Chambord until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes silky smooth.

4| Cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours, until the chocolate is cold and stiff.

5| Spoon out chocolate and carefully mold into balls, then toss in the cocoa powder until coated.
6| Keep refrigerated until ready to eat and enjoy!

Don’t leave your truffles sitting out too long, because they will get soft and quickly make a mess.

You’ll get pretty messy just forming the truffles because the ganache is very pliable.
This batch will make around 16 truffles and they are a perfect compliment to a great cappuccino with their dark, slightly bitter taste.
