Bakery Dessert Truffles Part Two

Strawberry Tarte: I've never tried tarte previous to this occasion, and technically I still haven't tried it. But I want to now that I've tasted this truffle! It has a double center, one side is a "vanilla mousse" while the other tastes like the frozen strawberries you use in Strawberry Shortcakes, however it was a tart, not a ganache center, so it was more solid and didn't drip constantly when eaten. I can't say whether it tastes like the actualy Strawberry Tarte or not, but it had a deliciously original flavor. I loved it. The only downside was that it wasn't really a chocolate mix. I don't even think the strawberry tarte has any chocolate, so the combination wasn't the best. But it was certainly very delicious. Also, the tarte is a little overpowering, but witha  flavor so rich, how can it not be? 9/10. Worth trying!

The outside, before eaten. Chocolate criss cross patterns!

The inside! The vanilla mousse rests atop the tarte(:

YUM! Almost gone!!

Red Velvet Cake: They're almost gone! Now I've just tried the Red Velvet Cake truffle, and I think I'm a little upset I saved this one for last. It wasn't a particularly original or exciting flavor. It tasted like other truffles I've had, while all the others in this collection have been particularly new and original, this one just barely met my expectations. It wasn't bad. It was tasty and a pleaser, for sure. But was it particularly special? Not exactly. 6/10


The interior and the exterior- yummy cake inside and the white chocolate outside!

Interior!

Tiramisu: LAST ONE! I've never tried tiramisu, but I think it has layers of chocolately flavor. And this definitely was the right choice to save for last! It had a blend of coffee flavor! If tiramisu tastes like this truffle, I really want to try it. And if this truffle tastes like tiramisu, then many people will be pleased. It had a blend of "mascarpone and espresso ganache," and is topped with chocolate bits on its white chocolate shell. The perfect mix with the espresso flavor so that it's not too overpowering. I highly recommend this chocolate, I found nothing wrong with it. 10/10!

Interior without flash, the top is the espresso ganache, the bottom is the mascarpone center! Yum!


Same here, but with flash.
