Recipe Tip
When dipping the truffles, use a table fork or candy fork to lift each ball out of the melted baking chocolate. The excess chocolate will drip through the fork tines, leaving a smooth chocolate coat. Use a toothpick to gently place it on the pan.
Cheesemonger Tip
Mascarpone cheese originated in Italy. Once chefs started making the Tiramisu dessert in the U.S., and Americans fell in love with it, cheesemakers started making mascarpone cheese in Wisconsin.
