Chocolate Truffle Recipe (Nama Chocolate)
February 16, 2014
Hi! Here's another simple no-bake recipe, Chocolate Truffle, by Ochikeron-San. Chocolate truffles, otherwise known as Nama chocolates are very popular in Japan. The most well-known Nama chocolate in Singapore would probably be from Royce, where they sell a variety of flavours (my favourite being the Nama Bitter).
So what is Nama chocolate? 'Nama' actually means raw or fresh in Japanese, i.e. 生（なま）. Nama is made using fresh cream and chocolate. So that's where it gets its name. These velvety treats are incredibly rich and creamy, and they melt in your mouth like bites of heaven.
Tantalised yet? Follow this recipe to make some Nama chocolate for your indulgence!
