Make Mother's Day Sweeter With White Chocolate Truffles

Often the most memorable gifts are those that are homemade.
by

Often the most memorable gifts are those that are homemade. Rather than go to an expensive chocolate shop, attempt these homemade white chocolate truffles. Sure, you may be thinking white chocolate is plain Jane, but these truffles are anything but. Whether you are making them for your love, your friends, or your mother this Sunday, any recipient of these chocolates will be amazed by the craftsmanship and flavor of these white chocolate truffles.

First, you'll need to make a ganache, which is an emulsified mixture of heavy cream and white chocolate. When it cools, it will set into a cloudy, more malleable mixture.

The ganache is rolled into balls before it is dipped in the melted, tempered chocolate.

The white chocolate shell snaps to reveal creamy white chocolate ganache centers.

Make the recipe.

Healthy Holiday: Delicious Raw Chocolate Truffle

In the season that seems dedicated to decadent food, we have created the perfect dessert solution: raw chocolate truffles.

In the season that seems dedicated to decadent food, we have created the perfect dessert solution: raw chocolate truffles. Using raw cacao means these treats are bursting with antioxidants without skimping on the flavor. We sweetened the truffles with maple syrup and dried dates, so they are not loaded with processed sugar; but you won't be able to tell the difference. Watch the video to learn just how easy it is to make this seasonal treat.

Molly was recently in Paris for a whirlwind 48 hours, but in that short amount of time she managed to pick up a box of gourmet cheese chocolates from Jean-Paul Hévin. The insides of these unique truffles are different types of creamy cheese, like thick and tangy goat cheese, while the outside is a classic dark chocolate shell. The flavor was unlike anything I'd ever tasted, but it totally worked and begged for a glass of red wine! Have you tried a cheese-filled chocolate before? What did you think?

Chocolate truffles are essential to the holiday season, and while there's nothing like opening a beautifully wrapped box of store bought truffles, I also enjoy the process of making the rich treats at home.

Last December, in an effort to encourage you to treat your loved ones to affordable and delicious handmade items, YumSugar and I featured 12 of our favorite edible gift recipes. Starting today, the series is back and we've got 12 more delectable ideas to share with you!

Chocolate truffles are a tried and true classic holiday dessert. Instead of picking up a box of chocolates from your favorite chocolate shop, why not make your own? Homemade chocolate truffles are surprisingly easy; they are, quite simply, a flavored and chilled ganache.

While the chocolate can be seasoned with anything from citrus peel to orange liqueur, I made chocolate-champagne truffles, bourbon-pecan truffles, and Irish-coffee truffles. Placed in mini muffin liners and packaged in beautiful boxes, truffles are pretty, decadent, and luxurious. To share these sparkly chocolates with your loved ones, get the recipe: read more
