Pure decadence, Dark Chocolate Truffles!
Dark chocolate on it’s own is so incredibly intense, and lends perfectly in these little bites of indulgence. They are well balanced, smooth, and rich, perfect to make up anytime you need a treat or to share with someone.
I’m a huge Lucille Ball fan and when I enjoy candies or truffles, all I can think of is that classic episode of her and Ethel at the chocolate factory! Oh my goodness, so funny!

I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that conveyor belt, oh dear me! BUT I was a sight still, chocolate was everywhere, and I was happily covered in it. The stuff melts fast enough 😉
So what I love most about this recipe, is that there is no sugar added and has a base of only 3 ingredients plus your coating ingredient of choice! So easy to make, and even better to eat and enjoy.
These Dark Chocolate Truffles, make them, share them … or not, and enjoy!
For a grown-up dessert pairing, set these truffles out with a small cup of Kentucky bourbon coffee.
Creamy Truffle Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Save ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add mushrooms. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5–6 minutes.
- Lower the heat. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of truffle oil. Taste, then add the second teaspoon if you’d like more aroma.
- Mix the drained pasta into the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed for a silky, cohesive texture.
- Divide among plates. Top each serving with additional Parmesan and chopped parsley. Plate immediately and enjoy.
- Mushrooms: Cremini are reliable and flavorful, but wild mushrooms (like shiitake or chestnut) add amazing depth.
- Cream swap: Replace half the heavy cream with mascarpone for extra richness and a silkier texture.
- Truffle choices: White truffle oil offers a delicate aroma; black truffle oil delivers stronger notes—choose based on your preference.
