Today was Day #6 of Chocolate and Mango Theme Week, and Day #1 of Spicy Chocolate Theme Week.
This lovely Mango Red Chili truffle was part of a beautifully packaged, 9-piece "Sense Venture" assortment from Marco Paolo Chocolates (Van Nuys, CA). All 9 truffles in the box were different and featured great, layered flavor combinations. Today's Mango truffle had a tasty, sweet and almost savory, dark chocolate ganache infused with lime and habanero pepper. A layer of mango red chili gelee sat atop the ganache.
Layering ingredients in a slightly larger (taller) truffle like this was a great way to enjoy a complex flavor ride -- particularly when ingredients are fresh and well balanced like this.
