220 minutes
Frozen chocolate truffles with almonds are an exquisite dessert from European confectionery traditions. Their delicate texture and rich chocolate flavor harmoniously blend with a subtle almond note and the aroma of amaretto. Historically, truffles were inspired by classic French candies but have since acquired many variations. In this recipe, the creamy chocolate mixture is frozen, giving the dessert a special density and refreshing effect. These truffles are perfect for festive treats or as a refined ending to a romantic dinner. The contrast between the crunchy almonds and melting chocolate center offers delight in every bite. They are served frozen, making them especially enjoyable in warm weather.
