Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
- Make sure the chocolate and cream are at room temperature before mixing them together.
- Don't overmix the chocolate mixture, as this can cause it to become grainy.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
- To make the truffles easier to roll, chill the chocolate mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping them.
- If you want to decorate the truffles, you can dip them in melted chocolate, sprinkles, or nuts.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
