Chocolate Truffle Balls
Chocolate truffle balls have become a global staple but have origins in France. The dessert gets its name owing to the resemblance to the edible truffle fungi. "I wanted to create something that highlights the versatility of chocolate—layered, textured, and refined, yet simple enough to enjoy anytime,” says Santosh Sakpal, executive chef at Fort JadhavGadh.
