Review: GODIVA Trufflelata

Have you heard about the new GODIVA Trufflelata? The brand recently announces the launch of this new refreshing beverage, a fresh twist on the traditional GODIVA shake by providing a customized delectable treat experience blended with GODIVA premium truffles – it’s a truffle in every sip!

With the weather creeping into the 80’s over the weekend, we thought it’d be the perfect time to cool off with one of these sweet treats, so we headed out to the mall in search of some chocolate nirvana.

There’s all kinds of signage for the new Trufflelata in and around the GODIVA store, so it’s hard to miss. But the tiny menu with the different Trufflelata flavors sits on the counter obstructed by customers, so it pays to plan ahead. I took a quick photo of the menu so you could see the different flavors available:

Their website breaks down the specifics of the different flavors, but the names are pretty self explanatory. I decided to go with the traditional Milk Chocolate Trufflelata, made with their Milk Chocolate Truffles (solid milk chocolate pieces and thick milk chocolate ganache inside a milk chocolate shell). It definitely lived up to their promise of “a truffle in every sip”, it’s a chocolate lover’s dream!

That band of chocolate you see at the bottom of the cup, that’s not syrup but rather all the blended truffles in the shake. Most blended shakes always shortchange you on the mix-ins, eventually leaving you with nothing but ice cream. But the Trufflelata gave me chunks of truffles until the very end, which really impressed me.

Some people might be upset that the Trufflelata has replaced the existing GODIVA shake line. Don’t be, as these are WAY better than their old shakes, and they’re a bargain at only $6. (And if you go during Happy Hour, you can buy one Trufflelata and get a second one for 50% off)

Overall, I was really impressed with the new GODIVA Trufflelata. The truffles really compliment the shake without overwhelming it, and it’s the perfect way to cool down after a long day out in the sun. Be sure to try one the next time you’re near a GODIVA store. You’ll be glad you did!
