What Makes a Dessert Truffle?

Dessert truffles actually get their name from their resemblance to the truffle, a mushroom-like fungus. But you won’t find these growing in the forest!

Dessert truffles are small bites made with melted chocolate, cream, butter, and various fillings like nuts, fruits, or liqueurs.

Coated with a final layer of chocolate, they make a lovely small-bite dessert and pair perfectly with a glass of wine.

Champagne Truffle Ingredients

White Chocolate Chips. This is the place to splurge for this recipe! The type of chocolate will make all the difference, so I recommend finding a white chocolate chip that’s a nice quality.

Champagne. Conversely, a mid-range champagne will do the trick for these truffles. No need to splurge on a high-end bottle.

Heavy Cream. You could also use whipping cream in a pinch.

Sprinkles. If you’re celebrating, sprinkles with some shimmer are so fun! Try these pearlized sugar crystals or some Disco Dust.

Champagne Truffle Recipe

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Freeze Time: 1 hour (or up to overnight)
Yield: 12 truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 c heavy cream
  • 1/4 c champagne
  • assorted sprinkles
  1. Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a double boiler, and stir until just melted.
  2. While the chocolate and heavy cream are melting, warm champagne in a small pot on the stove until it just starts to simmer, then remove from heat.
  3. When the chocolate has melted, add the champagne and stir until completely combined.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and place in the freezer for at least an hour – we prefer to let the mixture freeze overnight.
  5. Once the chocolate is firm, use a small cookie scoop to get about 1 oz portions. Using your hands, form the chocolate into small truffle balls. Immediately roll the truffles into decorative sugar, or drizzle with chocolate.
  6. We put these in small paper cups to set, and prefer to store them in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.

Note: If the chocolate gets too soft while making the truffles, you can put it back in the freezer. The colder the chocolate, the easier it is to work with.
