Luxury Chocolate Making Experience - Artisan Truffle Making
Discover the art of the perfect chocolate truffle – then make your own.
Rich, silky ganache, crisp chocolate shells and beautifully finished truffles: this hands-on experience takes you through the process of creating one of the chocolatier's classics from start to finish.
Guided by a Mocha chocolatier, you'll make your own ganache, learn how to fill and finish chocolate truffles and experiment with different coatings and decorations.
No previous chocolate-making experience is needed. We'll take you through each stage, explain why we do it and share plenty of tips for recreating your favourites at home.
Your Chocolate Experience Invitation Card arrives nestled in a Mocha gift box alongside three of our handmade artisan chocolates - a little taste of what’s to come.
With booking instructions included, it’s ready to give to someone special: chocolates to enjoy now and an experience to look forward to.
What you'll do
You'll get hands-on with the different stages of artisan truffle making and discover how a few simple techniques can transform chocolate into something rather special.
Content includes:
- Making a smooth chocolate ganache from scratch
- Learning about flavouring and creating the right ganache consistency
- Piping ganache into chocolate spheres
- Hand-rolling truffles
- Experimenting with different finishes, toppings and decorations
- Learning how professional-looking truffles are finished
- Tips on storing and making truffles at home
- And, of course, tasting some chocolate along the way
The exact flavours and finishes may vary, giving our chocolatiers the opportunity to introduce seasonal ingredients and different ideas throughout the year.
While your chocolates are setting, we'll stop for a complimentary drink and a chance to relax and chat.
What you'll take home
You'll leave with your own handmade artisan truffles, beautifully presented in an 16-chocolate Mocha box and finished with ribbon.
You'll also receive your Mocha Chocolate Experience certificate, a photograph from your experience and our ganache recipe so you can recreate what you've learned at home.
And if you've caught the truffle-making bug, you'll be able to continue at home with our Artisan Truffle Kit, containing what you need to put your new skills into practice.
You'll also receive a special discount on Mocha chocolates purchased on the day.
