Drawing inspiration from Vietnamese coffee, a traditional beverage that is served morning, noon, and night across the country, these confections by Charlotte Truffles fuse together the strong flavor of coffee beans with the sweet finishing notes of condensed milk.
Founded by Charlotte Walter, Charlotte Truffles specializes in confections that highlight traditional ingredients from all around the world. Walter aims to celebrate the diversity of her Asian heritage and her community through her business. She offers each of her unique flavors individually or as custom truffle box sets, allowing customers to mix and match their favorite flavors.
These Vietnamese Coffee truffles are made from dark chocolate, coffee, condensed milk and coffee extract and are an homage to an iconic beverage that is traditionally enjoyed across small coffee shops or in a ready-to-drink canned format.
