Rich, delicate, luxurious and highly seductive, chocolate truffles are the undisputed kings of all chocolates.
From their light dusting, to their crisp outer shell and finally their velvety smooth filling, truffles seduce all of our senses.
At the heart of all good truffles is a ganache made from real, fresh cream and pure chocolate, gently mixed to produce a soft, smooth texture with an intense chocolate taste. Using this luxurious base, Master Chocolatiers then mix in their own flavours to take the taste sensation to a new level. Liqueurs, nuts, pure extracts, coffee, fruit, the choices are almost endless. Many chocolatiers' recipes have been passed down from generation to generation and are jealously guarded.
The ganache is then sealed in with a thin, crisp chocolate outer shell, which is then finished with a light dusting of icing sugar or pure cocoa powder. Many chocolatiers enrobe their truffles for a second time and finish it by hand with a truffle fork. This produces the tousled `just out of bed' look.
The ultimate chocolate truffle for many is the Champagne Truffle and chocolatiers all compete to make theirs the best. Hotel Chocolat's Champagne Truffles are made with real, fresh cream, premium chocolate and Marc de Champagne to make a soft, oozing centre. Bite through the delicate, crisp outer shell and you'll see why we think these are the best Champagne Truffles around.
Our Just Truffles Selection Box is quite simply the definitive truffle selection. Taste timeless masterpieces like rum, cointreau, Champagne, advocaat, calvados and modern classics like mellow tiramisu, latte macchiato and the superbly smooth cream and chocolate.
