New Truffle Kit

January 9, 2022

We started working on developing a new truffle kit that would include dipped truffles (chocolate ganache covered in tempered chocolate) instead of the hand-rolled truffles covered in various toppings that we developed for the Deluxe Chocolate Truffle Kit. We wanted to offer people the chance to learn a new skill as well as offer a new flavor profile for chocolate truffles.

We work with an amazing company called LorAnn’s Oils, and they make delicious flavorings that we are very excited to offer as part of our kits. We experimented most recently with their Raspberry, Cherry, and Strawberry flavors. We wanted to see how well they paired with chocolate and if they tasted good mixed into our recipe for chocolate ganache. The results were better than expected!

We settled on a Dark Chocolate Raspberry flavor, Milk Chocolate Strawberry, and a White Chocolate Cherry. I’m not a big fan of white chocolate, but the ganache in the middle of the cherry one turned out to be my favorite! We chose milk chocolate to go with the strawberry because we found that dark chocolate overpowered the flavor.

The kit will include candy melts for the coating because they are fool-proof and a little more user-friendly than the chocolate tempering process we tried. We will do a blogpost later with tips and tricks for covering the ganache in the chocolaty coatings. Turns out, dipping them wasn’t the best technique we found.

We’ll let you know when this kit comes to market. The recipes are delicious! We hope to be able to share them with you soon!
