Truffle Croquembouche
Jul 14, 2005
This fantastic dessert should stay refrigerated until serving. Use a hot knife, wiping it clean after each cut to get pristine edges.
You won't be a scaredy-cat after digging into this hair-raisingly good, party-perfect cake.
The flavour of this decidedly adult indulgence will linger throughout your romantic evening. The recipe can be doubled to fit a 9-inch (2.5 L) springform pan.
These treats make beautiful gifts, if you can keep from eating them all!
This adult treat is a cross between a cake pop and a rum ball. Look for lollipop sticks and cake pop stands at bulk food stores or in the baking aisle of the grocery store. We wrapped the sticks in gauze for a mummified effect. These pops taste best when cold, so keep them in the fridge until you're ready to sink your teeth into them. For an alcohol-free version, substitute 3 tbsp cold strong coffee for the coffee liqueur.
