Truffles and Hot Chocolate Making Workshop in Ghent: 1.5h Class

Make your own Belgian truffles and hot chocolate in 90 minutes

A 1.5-hour hands-on chocolate workshop in Ghent where you make Belgian truffles from dark chocolate with your choice of coatings, then prepare a hot chocolate seasoned to your taste. All ingredients, cookware and an apron are provided. You take your truffles home. No previous experience needed, and vegan alternatives are available.

The experience

You arrive and get straight to work: a live guide in English walks you through making ganache, the soft center of a truffle, then shows you how to coat each one with your choice of toppings. Dark chocolate is the base, but the coatings range widely, so each truffle you make is yours to design. While your truffles set, you move to hot chocolate, blending a classic recipe with seasonings you pick to match your taste. The whole class runs 1.5 hours, which is long enough to learn the technique and short enough to fit into a morning or afternoon without eating up your whole day.

Everything you need sits on the table: the Belgian chocolate, the tools, the apron. You're not watching a demonstration. You're handling the chocolate, tasting as you go, and leaving with a box of truffles you made yourself. The guide handles the setup and cleanup, so the time you have is spent actually making things. Vegan alternatives are on hand if you ask when you check in, so dietary preferences don't change what you get to do.
