Truffle Candy History

Back sometime in the 1800s, the cocoa press was invented which allowed the chocolate makers to separate cocoa butter from cocoa beans.

That is where chocolate solids came from.

Then with some trial and error with an experiment in cooking times, a silky chocolate cream was born.

Here in America and all over the world, this is referred to as ganache and is the main ingredient layer to truffles.

It is written that around 1895, the first chocolate truffle was invented in Chambery, France by M. Dufour, and then by the 1900s the rest of Europe was making truffles.

Not long after that the rest of the world got introduced to this decadent candy confection.

Easy candies to make and there are so many variations here in the United States.

22. Instructions:
23. Put the chocolate chips in a glass bowl.
24. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil and then pour it over the chocolate.
25. Shake the bowl gently to let the cream settle into the chocolate, then cover the bowl with a plate or a lid to allow the chocolate to melt (takes about 5 minutes).
26. Whisk to the mixture until smooth and shiny. Stir in the liqueur. Cover the unit of chocolate tightly with the wrap and put it in a cool place for about two hours to firm up.
27. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Use two spoons to drop 1/2 to 1-inch mounds of chocolate on the paper.
28. Shape them into balls.
29. Put ground nuts and cocoa/ground chocolate onto separate plates or bowls, and roll the truffles in the chocolate/and or nuts/coconut or sprinkles or your choice. Use a clean spoon to help you coat them. Refrigerate the truffles until ready to serve.
30. To serve, gently scoop the truffles out of the cocoa with a fork and put them in small paper cups, keep refrigerated until serving.... truffle freeze well also, however not good for traveling they need to stay cold until serving.

38. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a shallow bowl, then either add to a double boiler or microwave until softened.
39. Add the cream and stir until blended then add the stevia and vanilla or another flavoring you like.
40. After this is well blended, add to a small pan and simmer on the lowest setting until your chocolate is melted completely.
41. Place in a freezer container and cover. Freeze this mixture for 30 minutes.
42. I use a melon ball scooper that is covered in unsweetened cocoa powder to shape the balls, they drop them into the various coating bowls mentioned below.
43. You will need several little bowls filled with the garnishes of whatever you want to roll them in.
44. My garnish suggestions: unsweetened cocoa powder, nut flours like oat or almond flour, sugar-free powdered sugar, crushed pumpkin seeds for nut allergies, crushed sugar-free cookie crumbs, sugar-free coconut, crushed sugar-free hard candies that are colorful for the holiday theme or any crushed nuts ( pistachios are perfect for Christmas). You may have to coat them twice.
45. These need to be stored covered in a tin in paper liners and in the refrigerator.
46. They will stay fresh for around 4 days.
