Review: Tiramisu Lindt Lindor Truffle

Swiss chocolatier Lindt is well-known for their LINDOR truffles: spherical chocolate shells with meltable chocolate interiors. VERY meltable, as anyone who has bought them during the summer months knows. But their enduring popularity proves that the people like their truffles the same way they like their men: soft on the inside and round as a bowling ball.
Long lacking a seemingly obvious flavor choice (umm, mocha? Hello, Lindt? Heard of it?), a tiramisu flavor is now on the scene, filling that coffee-flavored void.
Tiramisu, Italy’s most beloved slab, is a layered dessert of coffee-soaked cookies, mascarpone, and cocoa powder. As a Lindt truffle, it takes the form of a milk chocolate shell with a lighter, delicately coffee-flavored interior wrapped in a white and brown wrapper.
It is, rather predictably, very good. It’s sweet and creamy, as you would expect from a Lindor truffle, and doesn’t have that weird artificial taste you get sometimes with coffee-flavored sweets. It’s a good balance of chocolate and coffee. I think it probably should have a place on my Top Ten Lindt Truffles list.
The Verdict
Is the Lindor tiramisu truffle going to please coffee snobs who only consume single origin pourovers and squares of 100% cacao? Lol, no, but then again, does anything? Other than perhaps the Criterion Collection?
For milk chocolate and coffee fans, this one will be a hit.
