Origin of Chocolate Truffles
One of the most popular and classic confectionary items, chocolate truffle has a rich and fascinating history. It was created in the kitchen of French chef Georges Auguste Escoffier during 1920s. One day, when his apprentice was attempting to make a pastry cream, he accidentally poured the hot cream into a bowl of chocolate chunks rather than the bowl of sugared eggs. Auguste Escoffier shouted at his apprentice and called him "Ganache", which is considered a derogatory term for the word "fool." He took the bowl and started stirring the chocolate and cream mixture. It started to form an emulsion that he could coat things in or pour into a baked pastry case for making tart or use as a sauce or glaze. When cooled and hardened, the chef found that he could work the chocolate paste with his hands to form a bumpy, uneven ball.
After rolling the new creation in cocoa powder, chef noticed that they have a strong physical resemblance to the luxurious truffles from France & Italy. Later, different truffle textures were created rolling the center ganache in white sugar or finely chopped nuts, and flavoring the ganache with Champagne and liqueurs.
