MoFo #12: Two sets of truffles

Kelly Peloza ♦ October 20, 2012 ♦ 1 Comment

Truffles are such a simple dessert to put together, but they never fail to impress. Plus, a basic truffle recipe can be altered to include almost any flavors. They’re a perfect accompaniment to an array of desserts, providing a cocoa or chocolate-coated silky finish to a meal.

Mexican Coffee
Chocolate and coconut-based, this truffle is infused with cinnamon, coffee, coffee liquor, and tequila. While it would be a nice finish to a meal of enchiladas, chips, and guacamole, I’d be inclined to include them with breakfast.

Orange Chocolate
A healthy dose of Grand Marnier and orange zest livens up a simple chocolate truffle for a citrus undertone. Coated in powdered sugar, these flavors remind me of winter, hot cocoa, and holidays.
