Lemon and chocolate are not a flavour combination that you often see. This truffle recipe was inspired by my time in Paris, working at the world-renowned La Maison du Chocolat, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Ingredients

  • 1 vanilla bean
  • ½ cup (125 mL) whipping cream
  • ½

Method

In a medium saucepan, add the whipping cream and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat and whisk in all the sugar cubes. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.

Place a double boiler over low heat. Add 1¼ cup
