Chocolate delight truffle got its start in France in 1895. Pastry chef Louis Dufour combined chocolate and cream in very specific ratios to create the delicious creamy center called ganache into balls and dusted them with cocoa powder. The shape of the final product reminded people of the mushrooms that grow underground and the name ”truffle” stuck. Chocolate delight truffles are basically made with biscuits and or chocolate cookies, butter, condensed milk and cocoa powder ,desiccated coconuts are really just optional for rolling.
