In this video, Chef Jean Pierre shows how to make an amazing Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle using a tool right out of the hardware store. It’s not a truffle in the traditional sense — it’s actually more oof a deconstructed truffle — but it’s got the basics!
Using sections of PVC piping, Chef Jean creates a dessert using hazelnuts (or almonds, walnuts or pecans), ground chocolate chip cookies, ganache, whipped cream, cocoa powder, and raspberries.
What’s so great about this is that I’ve got everything in my kitchen to make this right now (except for the PVC, but I could make a five minute run to the store), and because it’s so easy (though not necessarily quick – it needs several hours in the freezer!) I can make it for a delicious after-dinner surprise and not feel like I’ve spent so much time on something that’ll be gobbled up within minutes.
