Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the truffles will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and good-quality chocolate.
  • Make sure the ganache is thick enough. The ganache should be thick enough to hold its shape when you roll it into balls. If it's too thin, add more chocolate or butter.
  • Chill the ganache before rolling it. This will help the ganache to set and make it easier to roll.
  • Use a variety of coatings. You can coat the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles. You can also drizzle them with chocolate or caramel.
  • Store the truffles in the refrigerator. The truffles will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
