Rainbow Sunburst Truffles Recipe
The official dessert of the Faen Realm’s Summer Solstice Festival.
The Summer Solstice Festival has been a part of the Fae Realm for centuries, with the pixies at the core of its celebration. Every year, they come up with new ways to make it special – and this year is no exception. The centerpiece of the festivities is a unique twist on the official dessert of the festival – the Sunburst Truffle.
This year the pixies used an ingredient they gathered from the Human Realm, one the humans seem to love so much. Skittles! And they’ve decided to share their recipe with us, but more on that below.
But first, let’s chat more about the original dessert.
Legend has it that when the pixies first settled in Pixie Hollow, they had a vision of creating a special treat to share with all the magical creatures of their realm. They wanted something sweet and full of light that would bring joy and celebration to all during this time of abundance. After much experimenting, they came up with what would be known as Sunburst Truffles.
These truffles were said to be made from succulent honeyed cream cheese, infused with fragrant orange blossom water and flavored with zesty lemon zest before being rolled into golden orbs and topped with vibrant red candied rose petals. They truly represented the spirit of the summer solstice – bursting with flavor, sweetness, and color!
Unfortunately, the pixies are all very tight-lipped when it comes to the original Sunburst Truffle recipe, but have agreed to share their new chocolate version that includes skittles, they call them their Rainbow Sunburst Truffles. Enjoy!
