About
You'll make your own batch of vegan French-style dark chocolate truffles* using our in-house vegan dark chocolate ganache, handmade by our head chocolate maker. In this class you’ll cut and hand roll your own set of truffles, then learn to temper your own chocolate to coat the truffles in a shell, and finally roll them into classic and seasonal toppings. You'll go home with the truffles you made in class along with new skills to make your own truffles at home!
NOTE:
- Due to the structure of the class, chocolate truffle making happens in groups of 2. If you’re flying solo, you may be paired up with another solo student for the class. *Our truffle Ganache contains COCONUT.
