Named After a Fungus?

Truffles got their name because in their original form they resembled the famous truffle mushrooms.

Traditionally, truffles are made by covering ganache filling with cocoa or other coatings. Ganache is made with a combination of chocolate, cream and butter. By changing the ratio of ingredients, ganache can be made into a cake icing or pastry glaze.
