- i mean who wouldn't want a truffle that's basically pistachio-flavored heaven? and i love how the article is asking if it's just a passing trend or if we're all just too far gone for its verdant charms 
. personally, i think i'd customize mine by adding some crushed nuts on top... and maybe a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor 
! I was a bit skeptical about using tahini in chocolate but trust the recipe, it works amazingly well. The orange zest adds this extra depth of flavor that takes it to the next level. And the best part is, no special equipment needed - just a blender and some patience 
. I did customize them by adding a pinch of sea salt on top which gave it an amazing salty-sweet contrast. Have you guys tried making these?
the thing that surprised me was how easy it was to make them at home! the tahini and pistachio filling was creamy and nutty, and the chocolate coating added this nice crunch. i ended up adding a bit more orange zest than the recipe called for because i love citrus flavor 
but other than that, they turned out perfectly. have you tried making any viral trends at home? do they live up to the hype? 
still, i have to admit, the process of making these truffles sounds kinda cool - all that blending and chilling and coating in chocolate... it's like a little mini baking adventure! 
would i try making these at home? probs, but only if i can add some fun twists to the recipe first 
they used like actual pistachio extract which made it super intense but in a good way. I'd def add some crunchy elements to my own version, maybe some chopped almonds or hazelnuts. and btw who needs tahini when you have cookie butter lol? 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good pistachio truffle? 
And the addition of tahini and orange zest is genius 
. I've tried making it before and it's always been a hit with my friends 
. We use different types of chocolate like white, milk, or dark depending on our mood 
. And if you're feeling extra fancy, you could roll them in crushed pistachios or shredded coconut too 
. This trend might've passed us by initially, but it's definitely making a comeback 
!
anyway, truffles are always a hit, and pistachio is a great combo. but let's be real, have you tried making it at home yet? the recipe looks pretty straightforward, so no excuses 
i'd def add some cinnamon or cardamom to give it an extra kick. and omg, chilling it for 30 mins? what's next, telling us to breathe slowly too?
