Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles - The Grain Brain Cookbook
In this short kitchen demonstration, Dr. David Perlmutter and his wife Liz Perlmutter introduce a chocolate hazelnut truffle recipe that aligns with the Grain Brain program’s philosophy of allowing indulgent yet brain‑healthy foods. Liz describes the simple preparation: a ganache mixed with pistachios, cocoa, hazelnuts, and almonds to create a low‑carbohydrate, antioxidant‑rich dessert. David emphasizes the nutritional rationale, recommending dark chocolate with at least 75% cocoa for its high antioxidant content and low carbohydrate load, and highlighting nuts as sources of monounsaturated fats and fiber. The segment positions the truffles as a way to enjoy dessert without feeling deprived and promotes the Grain Brain Cookbook, which contains about 150 additional recipes.
