Tips for Decadent Chocolate Truffles

The finished ganache should look glossy and feel firm enough to shape; if it is too soft to handle, chill it a little longer.
A small cookie scoop helps make evenly sized truffles, while cool hands make rolling less messy.
For a neat cocoa coating, sift the powder into a shallow dish and gently shake off excess after rolling.

Drink pairing

A small cup of strong coffee
Its roasted bitterness balances the truffles’ rich chocolate and creamy texture.

0% option: Decaffeinated coffee or unsweetened black tea

Storage

Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Let them sit briefly at room temperature before serving for a softer texture.
