When I saw these angelic little truffles staring at me during the last day of the Portland Farmer's Market, I knew I'd love them. So first I tasted a bite of the coffee truffle from Hot Chefs, to work up to it. Good. But not explosive. I waited for a customer to finish her purchase and grabbed a chunk. It melted on my tongue so slowly, releasing a powerfully spicy flavor of fresh gingerroot, nutty coconut. I'm savoring it in my memory still and it's been almost a week. It's the ultimate holiday treat.
