Chocolate truffles are a luxurious treat that has a rich history dating back to the end of the 19th century in France. These delectable confections are traditionally made with a smooth chocolate ganache at their center, offering a velvety texture and intense cocoa flavor. Legend has it that chocolate truffles were invented by either French Pastry Chef Louis Dufour or renowned chef Georges Auguste Escoffier. These indulgent delights were named after the famous fungus due to their resemblance when dusted with cocoa powder.
