DIY Holiday Truffles

These DIY Chocolate Mandarin Truffles are Paleo and Delicious for Easter

— November 21, 2015 — Lifestyle
The spring season brings with it a preference to mix traditional flavor profiles with lighter fare like fruit, so these DIY Chocolate Mandarin Truffles are the ideal way to celebrate Easter or simply the arrival of warmer weather.

To start, the DIY Chocolate Mandarin Truffles require raw cacao butter as the base, which will be heated in a double boiler to get it just melted enough to work with. From here, the malleable cacao is portioned out into tablespoon amounts and rolled. After dusting with cacao powder, the DIY Chocolate Mandarin Truffles are them garnished with a simple bit of Mandarin orange zest for flavor and presentation.

The DIY Chocolate Mandarin Truffles are Paleo and contain no nuts unless the baker wishes to mix some in for a different experience.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Paleo Desserts - The trend of making paleo desserts from scratch offers opportunities for the baking industry to produce and market alternative options to traditional desserts.
2. Fruit-infused Chocolates - The trend of infusing chocolates with fruit creates innovative opportunities for the confectionary and chocolate industry to diversify their product lines.
3. Raw Cacao Butter Recipes - The trend of using raw cacao butter in recipes creates disruptive innovation opportunities for the health and wellness industry to produce alternative ingredients for traditional baking.
