This little gem of a recipe came to me from a book that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile now and don't use often enough. Maria Elia's The Modern Vegetarian is a fabulous book filled with so many fantastic recipes, inspiration, and beautiful photos. Sprinkled throughout the book are fun little mini-sections dedicated to specific ingredients such as peas, coffee, and even beets (although I'll admit I bypassed that one because beets are gross). Even on my most un-creative day, I can find inspiration in this book.
Below is my adaptation of her Chocolate Truffle recipe. In the book she offers a plethora of unique flavoring ideas for these truffles. I chose to try out the orange and basil combination. I was not disappointed.
