    Bergamot Truffles

    Published Feb 10, 2014

    delicious Bergamot Truffles

    I'm really not a pink-heart-shaped-sprinkles kind of gal. In fact, the whole of Valentine's (a.k.a. Singles Awareness) Day pretty much makes me want to hurl. (But don't let that stop you from sending me flowers and jewelry, mkay?)

    chocolate buttons

    I've found that a bit of dark chocolate can salvage the most dire of situations, and that includes obnoxious hallmark holidays designed to "make people not involved in romance feel stupid." (Brilliant quote courtesy of Bridget Jones.) It's a bonus if that chocolate is worked into a buttery-soft ganache infused with the floral citrus notes of fresh bergamot zest. In fact, having your maw coated in chocolate is a great way to prevent militant, anti-V-day rants.

    A bergamot truffle is a mouthful of love.

    butter and chocolate in a bowl

    Jay kindly picked up some fresh bergamots for me the last time he found himself near the Berkeley Bowl, which, come mid-winter, boasts the most extensive citrus collection we have ever seen. Last year I had a blast making bergamot scones, ice cream, bitters, and mojitos. But these truffles may take the cake. The soft centers get their voluptuous texture from cream, butter, and honey, all infused with bergamot zest and whisked into dark chocolate.

    Bergamot is the citrus fruit that gives Earl Grey its musky flavor. The juice
    is tart, like a lemon, but the fragrant zest is the true jewel, tasting of champagne and roses and fancy perfume. Like all citrus, it pairs brilliantly with chocolate. I picked Tcho's 66% for its citrusy notes, but any bittersweet chocolate that you like the flavor of will work beautifully.

    The first bite of these tastes familiar, reminiscing of chocolate-coated orangettes or foil-wrapped, citrus-shaped chocolate slices. But once the creamy chocolate melts away, you're left with the unmistakeable flavor of bergamot's other-worldliness: deep and mysterious and light and bright, all at once.

    Truffles are one of those fun kitchen projects that perhaps you never thought you'd be able to make in your home, but turn out to be totally do-able. For a dairy-free option, try these coconut milk-based truffles.

    You can order fresh bergamots here. But if you don't have any on hand, don't despair: these would be perfect plain, too. Or try infusing the cream with a couple tablespoons of Earl Grey tea, crushed espresso beans, or lavender buds.

    In fact, while I'm thinking of it, here are some other truffle flavors I'm dreaming up:

    Maple Bourbon
    Smoked Cardamom
    Rosemary Olive Oil
    Goat Cheese
    Pink Peppercorn
    Grapefruit Tarragon
    Coffee Caramel

    Bergamot Truffles

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    These flavored truffles make the perfect chocolate treat!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 1 hour
    Chilling time: 3 hours
    Total: 1 hour
    Servings: 40 to 50 one-inch truffles.

    Ingredients

    For the ganache:

    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 teaspoon firmly packed fresh bergamot zest (from 2 small bergamots)
    • 2 tablespoons mild honey
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    • 8 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate (65-70% cacao mass, about 1 1/2 cups)

    To finish the truffles:

    • 8 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate (65-70% cacao mass, about 1 1/2 cups)
    • 1 cup cocoa powder (preferably dutch-processed)

    Instructions

    Make the ganache:

    • In a small pot, heat the cream, bergamot zest, and honey over a medium flame, swirling the pan occasionally until steamy-hot. Cover the pot and let infuse 10 minutes. Re-heat the cream until steamy-hot again.
    • Meanwhile, place the butter and 8 ounces of chocolate in a small, heat-proof bowl. Pour the cream through a fine-mesh strainer and into the chocolate, pressing on the zest to extract all the good stuff. Let sit 1 minute, then gently whisk until the ganache is silky smooth. Cover the bowl and chill until the ganache is firm enough to hold its shape when scooped, about 1 hour. The ganache is easiest to work with when still slightly pliant.
    • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and use a tiny (#100) spring-loaded ice cream scoop (or a teaspooto scoop scant 1" balls of ganache onto the pan. (Alternatively, scrape the ganache into a pastry bag lined with a large, plain tip and pipe into mounds.) Chill the balls until firm but still slightly pliant, 30 minutes.
    • Use your fingertips to squish the balls into round, even spheres, then chill again for 30 minutes.
    • Roll each ball between your palms to get them even rounder. Chill until very firm, 1 hour. (You can repeat this step for super-round truffles.)

    Temper the chocolate and get ready to roll:

    • Place the remaining 8 ounces of chocolate in a small metal bowl. Make sure the bowl and anything that touches the chocolate is bone-dry, as any tiny drop of water could cause the chocolate to seize up into impossible globules. Place the bowl over a pan filled with 2 inches of steaming (not simmering) water.
    • Stir the chocolate occasionally until it has all melted. Remove the bowl from the pot, set it on a towel, and let the chocolate sit, stirring it occasionally, until it is cool to the touch. If done properly, this will temper the chocolate (i.e. put it back into a stable emulsiobut it isn't a huge deal here, as the truffles will get coated in cocoa, which will hide any "blooming" (i.e. the separating out of cocoa solids). Note: if the chocolate gets too cold and starts setting up before you want it to, set it back over the pot of barely steaming water, stirring, until it has melted again.
    • Sift the cocoa powder into a shallow bowl.
    • Set up a station like so (assuming you are right-handed): bowl of melted chocolate with a small spatula or spoon sitting in it on your left, cocoa powder in the middle, and sheet pan holding chilled ganache balls on your right. Once you get chocolate on your hands, you won't want to touch anything. (You can wear latex gloves for this, if you like, though I go commando.)
    • Smear about 1 tablespoon of chocolate on the palm of your left hand. Pick up a ganache ball and quickly roll it around in the chocolate, coating it completely. Immediately drop the coated ball into the bowl of cocoa powder and toss it around to coat it. Repeat this with as many balls as will fit in the cocoa bowl, then remove the balls to a plate (I just use the same sheet pan that the chilled balls are on). Keep this up until all the balls are coated in chocolate and cocoa.
    • Congratulations, you made truffles! Store these babies at cool room temperature. They should keep for at least a week or two, and possibly for a month or more. If the truffles crack (mine have been doing that latelstore them in the refrigerator, removing them 1 hour before serving.

    Notes

    The zest of fresh bergamot flavors these creamy chocolate morsels, and a little goes a long way. You can order them here. (The juice works beautifully in place of lemon in any cocktail.) If you don't have access to the fresh fruit, you could try stirring a tablespoon or two of bergamot olive oil, which is easier to come by, into the ganache until it tastes well-balanced. Otherwise, try steeping the cream with 2 tablespoons of good Earl Grey or jasmine tea, or go for lavender buds, vanilla bean, or crushed coffee instead. Or skip the flavorings altogether and just enjoy pure chocolate bliss.
    I used Tcho's 66% baking chocolate and Valrhona's cocoa powder for these guys, both of which I highly recommend. Dutch-processed cocoa is a darker reddish-brown than the natural stuff, and it has a milder, less acidic flavor, both of which make it preferable for truffle-coating purposes. Do be sure to use a bittersweet chocolate with 65-70% cacao mass so that the finished ganache is the correct consistency. I would recommend staying away from chocolate chips, which contain stabilizers to keep them from melting. Instead, buy some nice bars and chop them up.
    Nutritional values are based on one of forty truffles.

      Oh, the Berkeley Bowl! How I miss it!!! Sorry to wail, we moved from nor-cal a few years and I've been complaining ever since.

      I'm an avid Earl Grey drinker, so I know and love bergamot well. But never have I used it in a dessert. You're a genius!

      I feel ya on Valentine's Day. Can you believe as kids in school, they would let the boys choose their favorite girls and the rest of us would be left in the dust? And now we're 30 years old, and it's still the same way? I celebrate Galentine's Day with my girls :)

        I don't blame you for wailing - I would do the same! The major reason we have yet to move away from SF is that we're a 15 minute walk from Rainbow co-op, so I totally get it!

        I'm an Earl lover, too. Have you ever tried the stuff from Samovar? It's especially bright and citrusy! I'm curious to try making my own using a recipe on The Kitchn, too.

        I can't believe the boys had all the choice at your school - ew!!! Everyone knows boys have cooties, anyway. ;) I gasped when I read "Galentine's day" - that is the most brilliant thing I've heard ever! Love love love!

      I'm much more into eating Valentine's treats than I am the actual day itself. But I've never been one to turn down chocolate! I wonder if I can find bergamots anywhere around here...they are proving to be quite elusive!

        Hells yeah to the eating of the V-day treats! :) I've been seeing bergamot popping up on more and more San Francisco restaurant menus, so I'm hoping they become increasingly available in the US. It looks like they're in stock here if you want to order a dozen to play with: http://www.24hourbestbuy.com/bergamotorange.html . Or you could try steeping the cream with earl grey tea, or adding bergamot olive oil to the ganache. :)

I am dying to try those Bergamot lemons, I am so jealous! Now I have to go back through your past posts where you use it.

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Egg Scramble for a vibrant filling loaded with eggy, cheesy vibes! 🌈✨
 
This recipe starts with my flaky gluten-free pie crust and a mess of sauteed veggies. For the filling, just blend #hodoeggscramble with plant milk, corn starch, a bit of maple sugar, and baking powder. The sugar balances the flavor, and a pinch of baking powder gives it a bit of fluff. 
 
Whip one up for a satisfying brunch dish everyone can enjoy! Get the recipe @hodofoods.

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
