These elegant confections are not for the weak of heart that have no resistance to temptation.

When it is time to be good to yourself, Truffles on a silver tray is a dream come true.
If stunning dessert presentations for guests and family are your forte, don’t forget a Truffle looks most elegant served on genuine polished silver or gleaming cut crystal for formal occasions.
Signature Truffle Dessert Recipes
Every host and hostess wants to make a signature statement about their Truffle dessert recipe. For a formal dinner, serve a Truffle dessert made with a favorite liqueur like crème de cocoa or crème de menthe for adults only.
Don’t be afraid to decorate each Truffle with pretty colored gel icing or, for a really shimmery look, roll each Truffle in silver shot candies. A signature Truffle dessert recipe can also be part of a dessert buffet or served on fluffy beds of shaped meringue vacherins.
Planning an Elegant Dessert Menu
Chocolate is the number one favorite taste treat. In a truffle, chocolate imparts a certain “joie de vivre” (enjoyment of life) to the final phase of an intricately planned menu. Consider the elegant appeal of flutes of champagne, Truffleed strawberries on delicate pastel macaroon galettes.
Kids Love a Good Truffle

There is no doubt a Truffle recipe can destroy a diet.

Use an acceptable dietary sweetener, crushed or whole almonds and dried fruits. No need to feel deprived of a favorite Truffle dessert when a little creativity solves the problem.
Romances may come and go, but Truffle desserts are here to stay. The good news is that Truffle dessert ingredients can include all of those flavors that tickle your palate. It is even possible to “design” a unique Truffle dessert for formal dinner parties, children’s parties and holidays.
