Light & Luscious: Try this Delightful Spin on Your Classic Truffle Recipe

Truffles are often considered the highest expression of a quality confection, celebrated for their rich flavor and velvety texture that justify a premium price. Typically made with chocolate and cream, truffles can be customized with different ingredients to enhance their taste, texture and shelf-life.

Looking for a delightful twist to your traditional truffle recipe, sure to become your next new customer favorite?

For a light and airy melt-in-your-mouth truffle center, whip a cooled truffle center in the mixer until it becomes fluffy. With the incorporation of air, the color will become noticeable lighter. The final density will be approximately 0.75 gm/Ml giving your truffles a completely different texture, while keeping the same great flavor.
