Midnight Dust Truffles
#ChocolateChallenge
Profile: AmateurSome desserts remind us that the deepest pleasure lies in simplicity. Truffles are exactly that… a quiet luxury, where just a few ingredients transform into something that warms both the soul and the palate.
Ganache is the heart of these little spheres: cream and chocolate merging into a smooth, glossy mass. Once rested and set, it is shaped by hand. Finally, cocoa powder cloaks them in a veil of bitterness that highlights their inner softness. As in life, contrast is what brings us back to essence.
Ingredients: dark chocolate 70%, heavy cream, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, salt, cocoa powder for coating
Applied Techniques
Infusion & heating of cream – cream is gently heated until simmering to activate its binding properties.
Emulsification – pouring hot cream over chocolate (with butter) and letting it sit before stirring ensures a smooth, glossy ganache.
Flavor incorporation – adding vanilla extract at the right temperature to preserve its aroma.
Protective covering – placing plastic wrap directly on the surface prevents condensation and the formation of a skin.
Controlled chilling – refrigerating the ganache in a shallow dish allows for even cooling and proper setting.
Final coating – rolling the truffles in cocoa powder adds the finishing aromatic and textural note.

Hi Lana! ✨ Your Midnight Dust Truffles feel so delicate, and the dark mood really makes the cocoa stand out beautifully. The pyramid composition adds nice volum. I ADORE that blue background and how it makes those truffles even brighter. Great work! 🍫

Estás trufas son una fantasÃa, y una promesa de sabor, de suavidad, de amor. Esa ganache suena a puro vicio, y el baño de cacao, también.
Me comerÃa ahora mismo una… Aunque sé que no podrÃa parar hasta acabar con todas 🤣🤣
