Chocolate truffles are a pearl of Turin pastry. Delicious sweetness to dissolve in mouth slowly, savoring the taste of every single ingredient. The cocoa, of excellent quality, but also butter and cream, if good, must leave delicate traces on the palate. This recipe differs from the classic only for the topping with hazelnuts sprinkles instead of cocoa powder.
